Indeed in v6.0 this all works out-of-the-box by default, unless the admin explicitly adds file stores, in which case he is obviously aware of it, as he selected the location.
Backing up data properly still remains the responsibility of the system admin/integrator, OpenERP only provides some tools to help a little bit.

- database backup does not backup attachments - DATA LOSS

Status in OpenObject Server: Opinion

Bug description:
attachments are stored in
openobject-server/bin/filestore/<dbname>
a backup just takes a copy of the database content , not of the attachments

so the cylce backup/restore looses data.
especially tricky if postgres-db and openerp-server run on different computers.

absolute minimum requirement is to add this information to the backup menu
* Backup Database (without attachments)
* Restore Database (without attachments)
help="Attachments are stored in openobject-server/bin/filestore/<dbname> and must be backuped separately"

a better solution would be of course to include the attachments in the backup/restore process (which IMHO has to be redesigned to use a storage location on the server and avoid transfer of mass data to and from the client.)
