Hi,

I have been playing Odoo 9 for a while now. I recently notice that my database backups are shrinking in size (substantially) after each backup. Does Odoo or PostgreSQL somehow optimize the database after a period of time?

Thanks

I've noticed that some of the product pictures are missing after each database backup.
Not really sure what to do to prevent it happening.

I doubt that, unless you actually removed records from the database, or removed files from the filestore in case of zip backups. If neither is the case, I would check a restore of one of the small dumps and check whether there is data missing. I had incomplete dumps without error message recently but that may have been due to a misconfiguration on my side.

Thanks, I will check. At a glance it seems the sql dump is smaller in size,but I couldn't tell what is missing now.

Convert a big and a small dump to sql txt file "pg_restore db1.dump > db1.sql", then count the lines and compare "cat db1.sql | wc -l". It is only a crude measure but it should give a hint.

Thanks Mark. I found that the temp data or so called transient data were deleted after a period of time by Odoo and that made a huge size difference on the dump.
