The backup size has decreased - Normal?
« on: March 10, 2023, 04:21:08 PM »
Dear all

I am doing daily backups to my site and I have seen a strange thing.

Yesterday's backup had: 660 MB - 15.277 Files - 2.271 Folders
Today backup have: 247 MB - 14.923 Files - 2.271 Folders

Any idea what is happening? Shouldn't it be growing constantly?

I specify that I only save root of Osclass installation and databases. Which is normal.
The databases continue to grow but the site is decreasing.
I uploaded the files to another host to test and everything works.

Does the site create log files? Is there anything I can check to see the differences? Can I do a more detailed comparison to see what has disappeared?

Please do not think to the /var/log/httpd... files that the Virtual Host makes, I do not save that ones.  :D

Need to hear more...

Thank you

Some listings removed? Open archives and compare.

Maybe you had some TMP files and they were removed automatically?

No, never, each is did with same name but different date, like backup-18-18-2024, and never overwrite them. :)

You can extract those 2 archives and check. Why you do not do that?

Found /oc-content/uploads/temp

This is where the differences are.

But why 400 - 500 mbs.. is not too much?

What are these temps in oc-content/uploads/temp?
