Are you not repeating yourself, why not?:

CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION function_data_1()
RETURNS SETOF bigint AS $$

declare
         row record;

BEGIN

-- copying the data to the backup table (not the blobs)
-- Limiting in 5000 rows each call
FOR row IN EXECUTE '
             SELECT
                     t1.file_id
                     t1.size,
                     t1.file_id,
                     t1.full_path
             FROM
                     table1 t1
             JOIN
                     table3 t3 ON t3.file_id = t1.file_id
             ORDER BY 1 LIMIT 3 '
LOOP

-- Creating the backup table with the essential data
INSERT INTO table2 (row.note_id, row.size, row.file_id, row.full_path)

.....

Still not seeing what the JOIN to table3 t3 gets you?

Any way the function works.
