Here’s a professional email draft you can send to your application users regarding the large database size and long-running backups:
Subject: Action Required: Database Size Growth and Long-Running Backups
Dear Application Team,
We would like to bring to your attention that the size of your application database(s) has grown significantly over time. As a result, both incremental and full backup operations are taking considerably longer to complete. This impacts not only the backup window but also the overall performance and maintenance activities.
While the DBA team is actively reviewing and exploring possible optimizations to improve backup throughput, we strongly recommend that you assess the data growth in your application and consider the following:
- Periodic purging of obsolete or unnecessary data
- Archiving of historical data to alternate storage solutions
- Review of data retention policies to ensure alignment with operational and compliance needs
Reducing the database size will directly contribute to faster and more efficient backups, better resource utilization, and improved performance.
Please reach out if you need assistance in identifying large tables, inactive partitions, or historical data candidates for purging or archiving. We’re happy to support any analysis or cleanup efforts.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
Database Administrator
[Your Team/Department Name]
[Your Contact Info]
Let me know if you'd like it adapted for a more technical audience or a specific application.
