Sudden DB size increase following v3.4.0 update
-
Hello, The size of my backup (.sql file) increased from about 60 MB to over 100 MB following some updates yesterday.
Another curious thing is that when comparing all of the db tables, there are no size differences present that could account for the “huge” increase. The 60 MB .sql file is virtually identical to the 100 MB .sql file…Here are the two log entries #1 is before the update and #2 is after the update:

Could BackWPup have caused such an increase, and why doesn’t the increased file size show “where” the increase in data is when looking at the database tables?
Thank you for your time and answer.
