That would work. You may want to consider if it is just HTML text, or if the reports reference any images, video, additional files..., and whether you want to keep them too.
If you have a complex HTML page, and you want to use the DB approach (instead of just saving the file directly in disk and keeping the path in the DB), you may want to take a look to MHTML, parse the HTML and encode all the page elements using that format.
