```no-highlight

```no-highlight

pg_dump netbox > netbox.sql

pg_dump netbox > netbox.sql

+When replicating a production database for development purposes, you may find it convenient to exclude changelog data, which can easily account for the bulk of a database's size. To do this, exclude the `extras_objectchange` table data from the export. The table will still be included in the output file, but will not be populated with any data.
