Looking for some information on SQLite by accident found this interesting article:

It may help to reduce backup size and improve performance, worth to try. What you need is sqlite3-bin.tcz extension.

Not using any netscape based browser myself since long, but when using hv3 which can store all its settings in one single sqlite file, if I run a vacuum script before backup then backup will definitely end up with a reduced size.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
for f in /home/tc/.local/share/data/hv3/hv3_state.db; do sqlite3 $f VACUUM; done

For a script which is automatically optimizing all sqlite databases in rootfs see here:
