Its task is to remove statistics that are older then 7 days and in default Debian installation it's run by cron from the /etc/cron.daily/sysstat. If you had changed the configuration and sa2 hardly ever runs it is possible for sar to append its data to file containing previous month statistics. Best Regards, robert
