Basically, I'm unable to figure out what it means, for me the "size" keeps growing, relatively up, each day:
What is actually behind this value? The actual mount via SSH shows just the dump.rdb with a size of 8k .

The dashboard shows actual block-level storage consumption on the volume, not just the sum of your file sizes. This includes filesystem metadata overhead—Railway volumes use approximately 2-3% of the total volume size just for filesystem metadata, plus additional space for journaling and block allocation.
Your 8k dump.rdb is the logical file size, but the underlying ext4 filesystem reserves space for inodes, superblocks, and journal data. This baseline usage grows slightly over time as the filesystem tracks changes, even if your actual data stays small. What you're seeing is normal filesystem behavior.
