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.
