The backend handles three types of documents:

'M&C related' documents refer to a particular M&C. They have the 'mnc_name' field set.
'Driver related' documents refer to a particular device type / driver. They have the 'driver' field set.
'global' documents do not refer to anything

Documents are stored on the backend machine in a common directory tree. Global documents are stored at the root of this tree. For each M&C and for each device driver the backend creates a subdirectory. M&C or driver related documents are stored in one of these subdirectories. File names must be unique within the subdirectory where they are are stored.
