The tests were run under the following settings:

Automatic assignment of distribution points is enabled on the Administration Server, or distribution points are assigned manually in accordance with the recommended table.
The PostgreSQL DBMS does not include any extensions other than plpgsql.

On the device that has DBMS installed, the database consumes approximately 100 GB of disk space, and the transaction log consumes approximately 200 GB of disk space.
