[rt-users] RE: How are attachments handled in RT?

[Jon Daley]

 	What Stephanie was saying is that they aren't stored on the disk, 
but are instead stored inside of the database.
 	So, the only way to get them is by using a database query like the 
one she provided.
 	Depending on what database you use, you could do a dump/backup of 
the database to extract all the attachments if you wanted to.
