May 10, 2018 at 10:11 comment added TimVK Hi both of you. I just let my daily batch run during the night and apparently it worked just fine now with small backup files in the end. I think I was too fast in complaining/questioning. Though I can tell that I copied the line from the batch file to do the manual check and probably it added content instead of recreating the file. So that was my problem.

May 9, 2018 at 15:13 comment added Patrick Mevzek Do you have long running transactions? Is autovacuum running correctly? But to boot: did you compare the two backup files? What are the differences in them??

Added the generic tag of the DBMS at issue for visibility. Divided content into separate paragraphs. The DBMS and DBMS version are specified via tags, so I removed references from the title.
