Would it be advisable to use the ZODB to store these files (say more than 5.000 files or +/- 1 GB) ?
No
Hmm. I think this issue is more complicated than can be captured with a one word answer.....
Why no?
Im sure the majority of people here work with a filesystem that is larger than 1G. There are well known solutions for problems like backups and replication. However I guess no more than 10% of people reading this list have a 1G ZODB storage. Its not bleeding edge, but there are likely to be times where you encouter a problem that *should* have a standard solution, but doesnt. Even the choice of Storage implementation will gather conflicting advice. If you are happy to make your own choices, then putting everything in the ZODB is not a bad idea. I hope this helps,
