Export photo from Smart Review

I would like to use Smart Review as an additional small backup. That's why I created Smart Review.

When exporting the Smart Preview, it doesn't create 2560 pixels for any RAW photo except when I export a jpg file in the Smart Review, it then has 2560 pixels

Without original file:

The .dng image in the file    "Lightroom Catalog-v13 Smart Previews.lrdata"    then looks like this and has 2560 pixels

Then I export the photo with these settings:

Unda's photo doesn't have 2560 pixels:

What is my mistake?
Thank you for your help in advance!

You cropped the image in Lightroom. When you export from a smart preview, that smart preview is taken instead of the original, and then the edits (including the crop) are applied. That means that your exported image will be smaller than 2560 pixels wide if you cropped it.

  Hallo Johan W. Elzenga,

thank you very much! I did not expect that. However, the slightly wider dng image in the file “Lightroom Catalog-v13 Smart Previews.lrdata” made me suspicious.
Now my ambiguities have been resolved.

Best regards

I would not consider Smart Previews to be a legitimate backup. The only legitimate backups are the unedited original photos.

 Hallo dj_paige,

Thank you for your correct advice. I became wise from bad experiences. That's why I have a complete backup on 2 hard disk and selected ones (green and red) in the cloud.
In addition, I also take the Smart Preview in the cloud for the worst case scenario, which hopefully never occurs.
 Best regards
