There is a lot of are advice on the web against saving these on the file system. I am planning to use couch db for this with a backup on amazon s3. Please let me know if anyone tried to use couchdb as a file server and their experience with it. PS: I tested mongodb, but I got errors that I am not able to replicate again. Thanks in advance, Raghu website: http://raghuveer.info --0016e6471502267ddb048cfab984--
