I noticed if you back-up the same database in Enterprise Manager over and over (without making any changes to the database), the size of the backup gets bigger and bigger. To get around this I simply erase the backup and create a new one.
Now I'm experiencing the same kind of problem, different situation. I decided to make very few changes to my database. If anything, I shrunk the size of the tables and stored procedures... Now all of a sudden my database backup is 7 times larger.
What could be increasing the size so much, if I haven't increased the amount of tables or stored procedures?
What is the log file about? Mine is huge? Is there a way to reset it or clear it?
any help would be great.
Thank you,
AlecIf you're sure you're not making any changes are you adding/appending to the backup rather than overwriting?
