Hi Pierre,

Asking around, it's a seems to be a homegrown tool, in Java, on top of 
Postgres, Tomcat, and JDBC (and probably a pile of other stuff). If it 
weren't I'd point you to it. As it is, there's probably a good 
percentage of it that's directly related to our business, and not very 
general.

I was just trying to point out a way to maybe keep files elsewhere. The 
same could be done with ShellCommands that copied the files elsewhere, 
if that were more to Eliot's liking.
