I have to come back on this

the new book "Drive your Sales ..."
describes the  backup / restore process of the db - without mentioning that all attachment in filestore are NOT included.

although it mentiones in chapter 9.3 that the attachments may not be
stored in the db.

IMHO this should be mentioned as text comment in the popup of database backup. 
So at least people will know .....

Title:
  If an external filestore is used for document management, database
  backup does not include the backup of the attachments

Status in OpenERP Server:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  attachments are stored in
  openobject-server/bin/filestore/<dbname>
  a backup just takes a copy of the database content , not of the attachments

  so the cylce backup/restore looses data.
  especially tricky if postgres-db and openerp-server run on different computers.

  absolute minimum requirement is to add this information to the backup menu
  * Backup Database (without attachments)
  * Restore Database (without attachments)
  help="Attachments are stored in openobject-server/bin/filestore/<dbname> and must be backuped separately"

  a better solution would be of course to include the attachments in the
  backup/restore process (which IMHO has to be redesigned to use a
  storage location on the server and avoid transfer of mass data to and
  from the client.)
