Files are stored at $TOMCAT_HOME/repository/datastore in a non human format. There're all binary files, the problem is that you got only the uuid and you do not know which is the mime-type ( that's easy to know ) and where's the file destination. If you got a database and is down, do you can access records ? take in mind all apps are based on DBMS. In OpenKM case is app is down, you can access binary blobs stored in datastore but in a unfriendly format. Disaster recovering could help you http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Disaster_recovering

Other possible solution is sync data to some server folder etc. like a snapshot of repository in file system. That can be easily configured with events ( creation, update ) documents.
