With regards to dumping, I'd like it to be done via FTP or WebDAV means. I
don't know whether current WebDAV implemetation is suitable for dumping.
Anyway, dumps maid that way are going to be more portable compared to e.
g. MySQL dumps. Also, MySQL dump isn't browsable with tools like FAR
Manager. XARs are portable and browsable.

«Storing 10Mb octet streams
in database» doesn't sound like being reliable, and indeed it caused
strange problems recently.
On the one hand it definitely over-stresses the
database but on the other hand
it is very nice to be able to do a database dump, wipe the disk, load the dump
and be right back where you were before. Maybe a hybrid where content is stored
in the db and 'cached' on the hard disk but caches make debugging a huge pain.
Still something has to be done about the max_packet issue.
