Backup Configuration .bco file size reduced by over 50% in V11 vs V10

[stuartmacgreen]

Nearly two weeks since installing V11 and finding the new improvements and enhancement particularly in the Interface.
Just the small things are great.
Action Timestamps.....used to have to copy all to clipboard and paste to get that. Now see it on screen in the dialog.
The All Jobs filter... I completely missed that in V10!
Tape just keeps on getting better too.
Kudos to the R&D folks

I have just noticed however, that the size of our Backup Configuration .bco file is massively smaller than before...

just checking in that this is also some improvement and not some gotcha, as could not see any referenced named about this in Whats New V11 pdf.

eg.
V10 .bco = 107MB
V11 .bco = 43MB


Thanks

Found my own answer.
I just delved deeper and compared previous Job logs which I forgot you can analyze in the History \ System branch of the console

The V11 upgrade has purged a massive amount of Session History... this explains it.
