Is there a Blog plugin for Oxwal that use a file system and not database? my database is increasing rapidly in size because of long blogs and will soon reach the 50Mb limit that is possible to restore.

how many blogs do you have? 


I have over 5K blog posts and my database is only 122mb.


To restore a big database (should anything happen) you can restore it in parts, ie when you create a backup make multiple files


file 1 - ow_base_* 

file 2 - ow_blogs_post

file 3 - ow_forum_*

file 4 - ow_groups_*

file 5 - ow_mailbox_*

file 6 - ow_newsfeed_*

etc

etc


So that when you backup the database you will have say 10 small files that can be restored individually without worrying about restoring a large mysql backup.
