Strange Backup Behavior?

So I went to do a backup this morning since the reminder popped up. This is the first backup since updating to v3.5.3. Backup immediately before this one was on v3.5.2. The size of my backup dropped by 2/3rds? I have not deleted anything except a few old abandoned carts this past week and in fact actually added almost 600 images plus another gallery that now has several orders with it. My backup has always grown in size but this week it shrunk A LOT. Should I be concerned?

If you have delete abandoned shopping carts and compiles visitor stats (just by clicking Stats in the main menu), that can reduce the size of the database. The photos themselves are not stored in the database, just the photo information like file name and other stuff. 2/3 the size does sound like a lot though.

If you are concerned, you can email me admin access and I can look over it.

I meant to attach this screen grab to the first post. I will email you admin info. Thank you!! Your help is much appreciated.

Looking at the exports, it looks to me that you may have also deleted old emails from the email logs (Stats -> Email Logs). That would explain the large size decrease in the database.

I think I did hit the delete email logs for those 60 days or older button. Funny how some unnecessary old things can ballon a file by so much. Thanks for easy my fears. You're the best!!!
