Question

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a discrepancy in my PostgreSQL database management:
i have check my datbase size from backend with this command

SELECT
datname AS database_name,
pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(datname)) AS database_size
FROM
pg_database
ORDER BY
pg_database_size(datname) DESC;

Database Size Reports from this command around 1135 MB.
But when I downloaded the backup from myinstance/web/database/manager, it around 15Gb increased suddenly. this is a high alert for me, please help me

Attachments like PDFs, images, and other documents are stored in the filestore.
The database only stores metadata about these attachments (such as file name, file type, and path to the file in the filestore).
The backup size will include the database size and the filestore size. If the filestore contains a large number of attachments, it can significantly increase the overall backup size.
