Hi,

It is more than 2 months that I am getting backup from my database every night.

I have about 75 backup sql.gz files.
I noticed the size of these files that are increasing.

They were like each nigt, increased 10 - 20 kb as my site was growing bigger.

In the past five days, I didn't have anything special on the site, and I can say my site traffic was some how less than other days, but my backup files size increased like 50kb - 70kb - 150kb - 80kb ...

It has got me a bit worried, what has happened here? Is it normal? Is it possible someone is messing with my site?

without knowing anything about your backup script, it's hard to tell. do the row counts look right?
