True, but she said it was happening *every* time, and has the same number of
people. Unless she was deleting more names the compaction should have a
one-time effect, as would repairing other errors (assuming they got fixed).

Your backup today will be smaller than your backup of yesterday if in the

The backup file will always be smaller than the corresponding data file
because it is compressed to save space. Now if you are saying a backup
