Massive increase in backup size

    Hi!
    Before summer I did a restore to a test server. I do a daily backup with both db and wp files.
    Then I had 4 files with a total size of 600Mb. Today I was about to do the same thing. Now I noticed that I have 31 files totaling about about 9.8Gb.
    What is going on here and is there something I can do about it?

    Hello @allanknudsen ,

    Could you please set the “Exclude files larger than” option to 200MB in the WPvivid settings and then initiate the backup task again?

    Additionally, if possible, you might want to extract the large backup file to identify which ZIP files are increasing in size and review the contents.

    Kind regards.

    Hi @nicholas2019 ,
    Not sure if this did the trick but I updated WPvivid to the latest version (I was 2 or 3 minor versions down)
    This morning it seems we’re back to normal again with 4 files of 777Mb.


    Regards,
    Allan
