On nanoBSD 32-bit running snap from Wed Jun 17 18:54:23 I can't replicate this. With the box checked I get an ordinary small config. With the box unchecked I get a single large <rrddata> section after the ordinary config with about 3MB of stuff in it.

This is a full install. With the box, I get ~4 MB with huge <rrddata>; without the box, it's ~8 MB with two <rrddata> sections - one directly after another.

2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Sun Jun 14 19:59:54 CDT 2015
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p12

With the "do not backup" ticked i get an 21,6 kb file and if i untick it I get a 1,7mb file. If i tick it back on I the 21,6 kb file.

This is on a full install so i cant reproduce this either.

Well, the problem apparently is this:

$ ls -la /cf/conf/config.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  4292644 Jun 18 09:30 /cf/conf/config.xml

$ grep rrddata /cf/conf/config.xml | egrep -v rrddatafile
        <rrddata>
        </rrddata>

This is a box which was freshly installed and the config.xml restored to it from a backup which was including the RRD data.

Hmmm - I guess on restoring from a backup that has RRD data, the system should remove existing RRD data files, build a new set from the RRD data in the config, then remove the RRD data from config.xml
