EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: After your last update in all my domains the backups are about 10 times bigger. What is wrong.
I dont know how to get the logfile.

You can find the log by going to the Manage Backups screen, each backup has a Log button on the far right side of the line. Click that, then click Download. You can zip the file and post it here.

Hello Dale,

In this site he double the size of the back-up. So far as I know I did not change anything. Only i update Joomla to the last version and some extensions.
Like to hear from you.

Well, I found this one. You are backing up a backup archive:
DEBUG   |170519 14:56:29|-- Adding tijdelijk/site-www.rederijloosdrecht.nl-20160523-142327.jpa to archive (source: <root>/tijdelijk/site-www.rederijloosdrecht.nl-20160523-142327.jpa)
It seems unlikely that all of them have backup archives being backed up, but this is a common problem when backups suddenly increase, like yours did. You can search the log file for the text string
Breaking step *after* large file
to find large single files that are being backed up.
