Hi I don't know if online backups have changed much since the distant days of 9.1 but I noticed something today that I've never realised happens and wondered if someone smarter than me can explain what is happening... I run an online backup of a single DB to the same backup file name every day. The backup file isn't deleted before taking the backup. I've noticed that this backup file will remain at its peak size regardless of whether the DB decreases in data content. E.G. Day1 DB has 100MB of contents so backup is 100MB then Day2 DB decreases to 50MB but the online backup file remains at 100MB. In the above example, if I delete the backup file before performing the backup then it is 50MB. What's going on here? Thanks in advance, Grant
