<p>Hi everyone. <br>
<br>
Last night, between midnight and 2:30am, our Freeside database
grew by a little over 500 MB, which now stands at about 5% of the
total database size. We've been seeing this happen at a
not-so-regular intervals, and since it happens at a time when
nobody is using the database, it can only be an automatic process.<br>
<br>
Over the past 8 months, we've seen our database grow almost
exponentially, in spite of the fact that the normal course of
growth is quite linear. Here are our Munin graphs for database
size:</p>

Not sure what else to include in our diagnostics. I do know that
this is impacting the speed with which we can back up this
database.<br>
