hi all,
my live (production) database (very few people use it) of size 5 GB (has got 7 years data) and we scheduled each night 1 differential backup and weekly 1 full backup. "No other backups are scheduled (as per my DBA's decision)" As we know, hardly this system will have 100-200 inserts/updates/deletes per day (not more than that) but if I see size of differentials backed up database size is 1GB per day. Is there a way I can reduce as my boss asking why is this so huge in size when very few operations carried out daily?? As i am a developer I have very little knowledge on dba concepts like backups/restores. Please advise asap on this.
