That's a possibility. I'm currently doing that for AWL and Bayes, but I have a question. Why does the output from mysqldump get bigger every day, while the output from sa-learn --backup stays at about the same size? (The expiry job appears to be working properly.) It's like the bayes_token table is getting larger but still holding the same amount of data.
