The main purpose of a WebDAV server is to make it easy for people to store, retrieve, and modify documents in a database. The documents can be any type, whether they are text documents such as .txt files or source code, binary documents such as image files or Microsoft Word files, or XML documents. Because the documents are stored in a database, you can create applications that use the content in those documents for whatever purpose you need. You can also use the database backup and restore features to easily back up the content in the database.
