Hi Tim, thank you for answering. I took a second look and I've just confirmed this situation:
1. The `bitstream.source` column has the *full path* pointing to the upload folder, including filename. E.g., `/var/lib/tomcat7/myrepo/upload/some-filename.pdf` 2. The upload directory is almost empty. Just a few files there. :-/ I think this column has no impact after the bitstream has being added to the application, because currently I can access all bitstreams from inside DSpace, even if the source file doesn't exist in upload folder anymore. So, I won't need to update anything when moving around to the new server. Am I wrong? Am I right? BTW, I'm using DSpace 4.3. Thanks in advance. -- Vinicius Assef.
