This can be a hotly debated topic, I have gone back and forth on it many times. The
problem I have with storing things on the filesystem is you then have an additional set of
data you have to back up. I like now that everything is in the database and I can backup,
replicate, etc all in one spot. The con is the database grows considerably.
