How Do I Migrate Images from Database to File System?

Hello folks,

Quick question: To my understanding, all images that are uploaded to the vBGallery are stored in the database. Well, my database is absolutely jam-packed with images now and it takes an absolute lifetime to perform routine backups. Is there a feature whereby I can have all images moved over to a much easier folder/file system setup? I'd love to see my database shrink!

It probably goes without saying - but I'm not much of a PHP/MySQL/technical person and I'm just hoping I've worded this clearly enough. If not, please let me know and hopefully I can further clarify.

Summary: How do I move images out of the database and have it whereby all images are uploaded to a folder, say, /gallery/uploads/custompics/, instead?

Thanks for reading and I look forward to any and all help I can get.

Cheers,
Steve
