No, there is no problem. Just trying to reduce database size forcing
these fields to compress.
Actual database size = 8Gb
Backup size = 1.6Gb (5x smaller)

Seems to me (IMHO) that there is room for improvement in database
storage (we don't have many indexes, and biggest tables are just the
ones with bytea fields). That's why I've asked for experts counseling.

Edson.
