Hi Akeeba Team

I am a little bit concerned about the size of my back up.
As of now it is 1.8GB aprox.
If I remember correctly this took a sudden jump from about 800MB to 1.8
My plan was to simply download the back up and then use a program like this here:

To figure out what exactly is taking up so much space and if I can slim the back up down somewhat.
The thing is that after recent tweaks the back up seems to be split into parts so I can no longer do this.
I only have 20GB on my server so anything over 2 or 3 back ups and things are going end up getting crowded.
Could you give me a tip how can I find out what exactly is taking it so much space?

thanks in advance

Paul
