PostgreSQL support blobs up to 2 GB per blob on a 32 bit machine and
much larger (and totally impractical) on 64 bit machines.

However, blob can't be "dumped" in a restorable format. They can be
dumped in a maner that requires an external script to reimport into the
database.

The idea of recovering a downed database with multiple gig+ size blobs
make me queasy just thinking about it.


What this problem requires is automatic VPN's for the remote crowd and
an automatic rsync script on every machine that merges back to the main
server.

The better solution is better user training. Software solutions for
idiot problems only make more incompetent idiots.
