You can configure the size threshold which is used to determine whether to 
store cache information in the DB or in files.

See $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/akonadi/akonadiserverrc, variable SizeThreshold

0 should force out-of-DB cache

Please keep in mind that content that is not uploaded to the respective 
storage location yet will be lost if you only backup the DB in such cases.

Cheers,
Kevin

P.S.: if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set the specified default is $HOME/.config
