To be clear, it is source database or the backup file 3.1GB?

The source database has 3.1 Gb but after the backup/restore have 4.2 Gb

Seems very strange for me.

Greetings.

Walter.

Just a shot in the dark...

Could be that the original database was restored with -USE_ALL_SPACE and 
the new database was not be restored with the same option ?

see you !

Did you specify a larger page size for the restore?

Hi Walter,

This is the answer why database grows:
-FIX_FSS_D ISO8859_1 -FIX_FSS_MISO8859_1


  You should apply this option only once, when upgrading from 2.1.

If you apply it every time, you do transliteration every time and 
database size will grow.
