Hi Brion,

I import the dump into a local wiki for the case that the server will crashed. So I have to import the data. It doesn't matter what is in the local wiki, every changes in the local wiki could be overwritten or deleted. Has anybody an idea, what I should do, so that the ibdata file don't grow so much?

Cheers Jasmin

You're importing more and more data into the database, thus the database gets bigger.
