Settings & Schema file locations

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to replace the settings.dat.php with a settings table in my database and then store the schema files in a remote storage location (e.g. Amazon S3).

Is this possible? Is there anything that needs to be considered carefully when doing this? Any information that anyone could share that might help me achieve this?

My reasoning is that if I lose access to the server then I want to be able to just spin up a new server and not worry about any of the files stored on the local disk of the old server.

 Regards,

Greg

Hey Greg, 

Following up on this very old post.  

This is on our list as well, there's a number of places where we're using files to store data (settings, schema, actual uploads, etc). 

The plan moving forward is to be able to support having that in the database and/or S3 when available.

If you want more details on how any of the internals work feel free to email me direct at dave@interactivetools.com

Thanks.
