## Symptoms

- * All data from all IPS updates performed by user on R80.10 being saved in database and not removed
* After a period of time in which multiple IPS updates have been performed, the database size can become very large because of unused data.

## Cause

Since R80, the Security Management Server stores all revisions of IPS database. Each revision takes \~40MB. In order to prevent it from taking all of the disk space, a new procedure runs and cleans old unused IPS revisions in the DB.
