[xwiki-users] Attachment Store Location

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!
