What do you mean with "become separated"?

Hmmm... We use Roundup in our small company since 2005.  

Currently we have about 29 GB in db/files and the database 
is about 457 MB  (so our db requires only 1.5% of the space 
needed for the whole roundup archive).

Being a rather traditional person I like the possibility to
make incremental backups of our Roundup DB together with all
other really important files on a single DL-DVD each week,
which I can store in a safe place.  If all files and attachments
would be part of one huge DB, this would require blu-ray discs.

IMHO it is a bad idea to create a huge database by putting all
files and attachments also into the database too.  YMMV.

Best regards, Peter Funk.
