Is it on NAVAPP 2016 or SQL itself?
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.
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.
You can use Export-NAVData cmdlet :
Export-NAVData -DatabaseServer 'MyServer' -DatabaseName 'Demo Database NAV' -AllCompanies -FilePath C:\file\Companies.navdata
