backups getting huge

Is replication suppose to continually grow the database backups on the
distribution machine? I had to remove replication because the backups grew a
couple gig in about a months time. Am I missing something? I've tried this
twice now with the same results. Thanks.
for merge it may. For transactional it shouldn't if your log reader agent is
running frequently.

|||Thanks for the reply. I was using snapshot replication. Would this also
create continually growing backups? Is there any way to get around this
effect?
