Possibly the archive does not carry the log with it, which sometimes constitutes the majority of the space used by the db.

Hi,

I have strange problem with "backup and migrate" module:
After updating from 6.x-2.4 to 6.x-2.5 I noticed my database
archive-file is smaller. Much smaller. Its size now (2.5) is
just about 20% of what is used to be with 2.4. Is this normal?
