Database Size To0o0o0 BIg?

[EvilGenius]

HI,

I just decompressed the gzip of database and it came out to be 530+MB

now im unsure how this sky rocketed from 200mb just a few months ago.

community size didn't increase that much either.

using vB 4.0.1. anyone have anything idea where i shall start looking incase something is really not right?

too much logs stacked up .

I'm just wondering the same... My current full beck-up is about 550+mb and acp beck-up about 170mb(all size with gzip). My forums not that big.

It's only 30% of current size 2 month ago.

I removed the logs and freed up about 175MB
further more emptied the search index for a rebuild.

Old Size: 675 meg
New: 380 meg

yet to build search index
