Sorry I didn't mention we are using   Server Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.20

By the way, what settings are you asking about? How do view what they are?

Thanks

Subject: Re: Database Size

Be sure you are not on the sever levels 3.1.2.3x, as one of these levels
failed to expire properly.  Anything that will reduce the number of retained
objects will reduce the db.  What are your settings?

Also, you may have backups of dead file spaces the can be deleted.  Try a
query like following and see what hasn't been backed up for a long time.
Then see if the client still needs it.

  select node_name,filespace_name,filespace_type,cast(backup_end as DATE) -
  as "LAST BKUP" from filespaces where cast(backup_end as DATE)<'2000-01-01'
