Backup size question

Any procedure or recommendations to reduce the backup size of Rock? We host at Winhost and have the automated backup service enabled for 10GB in space. Initially it was enough but for the past week or so we've just barely surpassed that limit. We don't host much by way of filesize on the site, with most files being hosted elsewhere and linked to the Winhost site. Is there a cleanup task or way to reduce the size of some temporary files, upgrade files, etc.? Thanks.

    The only built-in cleanup is the Rock Cleanup job. If that isn't running, you should get it running. You can find it under System Settings, Jobs.

    And 10GB for backups seems like a really small amount of storage, unless your db is very tiny. Our db alone is over 20GB, so a single backup is about 12GB (compressed)
