I do a nightly backup on a SQL 2005 database. For the last seven nights the size of the backup file has remained exactly the same even though new data is going in the database (though admittedly not lots and there could be deletions). The size is 349,832,704 bytes.

I've restored last nights backup to a different database and checked a few tables. Recent additions are there. Is it coincidence? Should I drink more beer?

My word is my code.

Run DBCC checkDB and if there are no errors. You should be fine.
