Documents created using GroupWise DMS are not stored as individual files. Instead, documents are stored in database structures called binary large objects (BLOBs). A document and all of its versions are stored in the separate BLOB files. BLOBs are compressed (50% or more) to conserve storage space. BLOBs are encrypted to provide security.
For complete information on documents, see Section 66.0, Creating and Managing Documents.
