Best way to store large amount of files

Is there any db system to store large amount of files? The files are compressed web pages?

In SQL systems the problem raise where db size grow and I want to make a backup or a simple insert or s开发者_Python百科elect get slower. I know I can write thousands of code and manage this problem or create another databases to keep databases small.

But I want a db system that cover all these problems automatically. (I want to do more with less!!)

Thanks

The latest MS SQL Server has a special FILESTREAM feature, where files are stored through the database as if they were blobs, but they are actually stored in a separate folder. I think this is exactly what you're looking for.

The best way to store thousands of files is (gasp) on a file-system. If you need a hybrid, have you considered the FILESTREAM type in sql server?
