We all love our collection and therefore we constantly make a backup. The size of our backup file depends on the size of our collection, the quality of the local coverscans and the number of headshots as well. So I think it would be interesting how much size we spend on the database backub.

So I give you my personal configuration:

Profiles: 1.415
Size of *.dpb file: 330 MB

Yes please! 

Mine is 5.34 MB.

I only backup the profiles.

If I was to include all the databases it would be 611 MB.

without images it's about 4.7 MB

with images it's right under 600 MB

With somewhere around 1300 profiles the back comes out with 400MB (never tried without images).

The headshots are approx. 100MB of that...

I have about 95% images fromt the online, only about 5% (or less) are self-scanned.

Slightly less than 950MB - with covers.  Though I don't have as many large covers like Skip uses.  The covers I scan myself are  large at a higher resolution than those I download from the main db.

I very rarely backup covers since I always use the online ones and can easily do a 'download all covers' if I have to restore from scratch.

Without images, therefore, my backups are about 3.5Mb and, for info, last time I did do one with images it was about 225Mb.

I would prefer this procedure as well. But I own many dvd's with same ean/upc like on the database but with different covers or packing. For those I have to make my own scans for the local database. Maybe it would be a nice feature to include all variants of one ean/upc in the main database...
