I noticed that since 0.106, my snapshots are much smaller. Did something change in how these are produced? My db and log size is still about the same as it has been, yet my snapshots dropped from 200+ MB to around 50 MB, then to 8-11 MB. I have this automated via the Google Drive backup and password protected, so I can’t open the tar to view the details, but will produce a manual one to see what is going on.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is it uniique to my install? I’m on a Raspberry Pi, BTW. Whatever the all-in-one package is called these days.
Well, I think I found the source of the major reduction in size. I had been working on whittling down my db entries by doing some recorder exclusions, and when I just repacked my db, it went from 486 MB to 24 MB. So, that is likely why the size dropped in the tar by so much, but what is weird is that those recorder exclusions have been in place for some time, so why my snapshots suddenly dropped in size by such a huge amount is still a mystery unless the compression improved.
Looking forward to hearing if anyone else experienced a similar drop in snapshot size in the last week or so.
