Backup archive is much bigger than the domain to archive

Hello. Virtualmin's backup function works great for me except for one peculiar domain. This domain only contains two wordpress blogs with a total amount of 24 Mo. But each time virtualmin backups this domain, it produces a huge .tar.gz file. By huge, I mean 15 Go two days ago, 18 Go yesterday ans 22 Go today. I don't understand what can be the issue. Is there a common explaination to such problem ? jn

Howdy,

If you go into Edit Virtual Server -> Quotas and Limits for that domain, what are these three things set to:

Home disk space used (including sub-servers)
Space used by databases
Total disk space used

Thank you. I actualy found out what the issue was, it had nothing to do with virtualmin, it was the fault of a weird backup plug-in for wordpress. jn
