Here is some information about our configuration. The data dump size is around 3 GB. And it is occupying around 120GB on the disk. When we recreate the database from data dump it takes around 3.5GB of disk space. But the database size increases by 1 GB daily though actual data added maybe in KB. We are not able to decipher as to what is causing this increase. Suggestions on the likely problems will be appreciated.
