Description of my issue:
My backup file size exploded several-fold. The last backup was 1.2 GB, the one previous to that was 283MB - with no substantial changes in the site. I read related troubleshooting articles and went into Manage Backups and deleted all backup files. Then took a backup again and the third backup is still 1.2 GB.
Attaching backup log.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
