Because many of these attachments may be large (>50MB), and over time the database can grow to be unweildy. Currently that's our problem with our exchange server setup (people keep emailing these files back and forth as it stands now *shudder*). The upside of storing attachments in a filesystem is easier access from other clients (as the other poster suggested), less likelihood of corruption on large databases (our Exchange DB is 200+ GB right now), less likelihood of backup problems, copy-only-what's-changed backups, and quicker backup and restore time. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Xwiki-file-and-attachment-storage-tf4214945.html#a13799175 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
