What happens when we save card pictures on a hard drive instead of the server database?

A parameter allows you to save cards and visitor card pictures, signatures and background graphics, to a file instead of directly to the database. We are offering this option for sites that have large banks of pictures and graphics. The picture, signature and graphic database can currently contain up to 2 GB of data each. The parameter can be used in instances where a connection may need more space to save pictures, signatures and graphics.
