I still have to investigate if the tables are getting really larger... but at a first guess there shouldn't be any good reason to see tables getting so large so fast... so I was wondering if anything could contribute to make a backup much larger than it was other than table containing more records? The only thing that should have been really changed is the number of concurrent connections during a backup. thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
