It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 61887
interpreted = N
texte = Our practice has been to put the .db files in the globals directory with a directory structure set for each site instance. This is a legacy practice before the webcat sandbox feature was made available. We'd still put the .db files in the respective sandbox globals dir. One could argue the security merits of this, but we tend to think that keeping the number and type files to an absolute minimum in the web directories is just good habit. And we run our own servers, so we have complete control over who does what where. It's worked well for us for the past 6 years of operation. Christian F.

Placing all within each site makes ftp backups super simple, placing them in globals puts them a bit further out of reach... maybe a bit safer that way Any opinions???
