Hi guys,

As I understand from the archive, attachments are stored in the DB itself,
is that correct?

That's not very handy for my personal use. I have written an automated
backup bash-script, which dumps all DB's from my MySQL-installation into a
backup folder and store it there (a daily folder with the last 7 dumps, a
weekly folder and a monthly) and pushes once a night the backup folder to a
backup-server. Now if every attachment is stored into the DB, the DB will
grow extensively (versioning?, picture album), while with an ordinary
file-store system you just backup files, who have changed or are new....in
my use scenario, attachments are way more stable than the actual content in
the XWiki...

Out of curiosity, what's exactly the benefit to store files in a DB? For the
XWiki, is that the way you go or are you planning to implement a choice?

Thanks!
