In a program to update a sequential file, the old master file is typically updated with changes made during the processing. Therefore, once the program has completed the update processing, the old(master) file is now the same as the new(master) file. The backup file represents a copy of the original master file, created before the update processing was started. Therefore, it would not be the same as the new master file after the update processing is complete.
