"Stuart 'Zen' Bishop" wrote A 'quick hack' method of doing this would be to ascii encode your data.fs (uuencode, base64 - anything as long as you have line feeds) and use RCS to handle all the deltas.

I thought about that. It's ugly, and will consume even more space than the current ZODB. In the case of a pack, won't RCS just store the whole thing in the RCS file again? or will it use some other format? You're also going to end up with a huge Data.fs.uu,v (or whatever) file.

Or you could buy a Netapp and use the built-in snapshot facilities :-)
