Today, we solved an issue with holger's phone that he couldn't export his account anymore because during the `VACUUM` the Android system killed the app because of OOM. The solution was to drop the table `backup_blobs`, so let's automatically do this in migration This table was used back in the olden days when we backuped by exporting the dbfile and then putting all blobs into it. During import, the `backup_blobs` table should have been dropped, seems like this didn't work here.
