+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* On larger databases, it is possible that backups will die due to Odoo server
+  settings. In order to circumvent this without frivolously changing settings,
+  you need to run the backup from outside of the main Odoo instance. How to do
+  this is outlined in `this blog post
+  <https://blog.laslabs.com/2016/10/running-python-scripts-within-odoos-environment/>`_.
