System Backup Size increases more even on small changes

Hi Team,

We only add one or two rule max in a week but we see the system backup size increasing continuously.

Any idea ?

Try to compare the backup content to find which file(s) get bigger...

Most likely local log files.
You can compare the backups like Günther suggests to confirm.

Easy to see now and my initial suspicion: The DB Versions are growing very fast.

For R77.x see sk31313: Removing all Database Revision Control packages for removal instructions and find more details about database revision in Security Management Server Administration Guide R77 Versions and sk61700: Database Revision Control files

For R80.x see Security Management Administration Guide R80.30 p.292ff on how to reduce them. For Revisions Management in R80/R80.10, refer to sk113615.

Hi @G_W_Albrecht and @PhoneBoy

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes we have OLD database revision so size was increased.
