Backup size is increasing rapidly

[Sohail2949000]

Dear @hongboji @support

I’ve been using NocoBase for the last 6 months and have been regularly backing up the app. However, I’ve noticed that the backup size is increasing very quickly — it’s already around 800 MB.

I tried checking the NocoBase demo instance, and its size is only about 30 MB. So I’m wondering if there’s something I might be doing wrong. At this rate, it’s going to become very large in the next few months.

Could you please advise on what might be causing this and how I can reduce the backup size?

I am using
windows server 2025
docker compose
v2.1.35

Thank you!

The backup manager can backup local storage files as well, take a manual backup with this option turned off and compare the backup size.

yes without local storage files it only 11.3mb

Has this problem been solved?

In Backup manager settings, turn off “Backup local storage files” can dramatically decrease backup file’s size.
