    You can use Export-NAVData cmdlet :

    Export-NAVData -DatabaseServer 'MyServer' -DatabaseName 'Demo Database NAV' -AllCompanies -FilePath C:\file\Companies.navdata

    It seems when importing back now it's growing the database

    SQL MDF file grew from 117 GB to 673 GB

    SQL LOG file grew from 13 GB to 107 GB

    Can you please advise if you know why.

    Are you using sql server 2016 ?

    There is this issue and you need to install the updated cu.

    I suggest you to install the latest cu of Nav 2016.
