Our mingle server isn't backed up, just the separate oracle database, so the attachments being stored locally aren't backed up. what do I have to do to set the attachment directory on another server that does get backed up?

Just to clarify, Mingle does not store its attachments in the installation directory. All data files - such as user icons, attachments etc. - are stored in a directory known as the mingle data directory. The mingle data directory *should* be configured to be external to the Mingle installation directory.
It is possible to also set your data directory to a network share. You may pay a small overhead for the cost of access to all data in this location, but it should not be significant. You may want to confirm with your network adminstrator that this is indeed the case.
The data directory is to be set differently on Windows & Unix platforms.
On Windows
On Unix
> MingleServer --mingle.dataDir=/mnt/mingleData start
Hope this helps.
