		## Note on attachments

		TLDR; If you backup a database that contains attachments you will not be able to restore it.

		As documented above couchbackup does not support backing up or restoring databases containing documents with attachments.
		Attempting to backup a database that includes documents with attachments will appear to succeed. However, the attachment
		content will not have been downloaded and the backup file will contain attachment metadata. Consequently any attempt to
		restore the backup will result in errors because the attachment metadata will reference attachments that are not present
		in the restored database.

		It is recommended to store attachments directly in an object store with a link in the JSON document instead of using the
		native attachment API.
