I don't understand this, when I go to backup my database from admin CP I get usually different results in size in the database backup file.
For example.. if I select all tables, enable gzip, save method backup directory, Structure and Data, No optimize OR optimize,
I get a backup file of around 1.5 MBs in size.
Now if I keep all the same except if I choose save method download, instead of backup directory, I get a file that ranges in size from 13MBs to 15Mbs.
Could someone please explain to me what's going on and why?
For example last month I have a database backup on my local hard drive larger than this month (except backup directory shows steady growth) which makes no sense to me.
