hey, I've been thinking about using Directory Storage but the alpha-ness has scared me off. What experiences have people had with this? Is it ready for production, multiple users and big databases? and is there a way to convert an existing ZODB? <--> george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:george@zettai.net

Use DirectoryStorage! http://dirstorage.sf.net It uses files in deep directory structures to comprise persistent objects in a ZODB storage alternative to a single FileStorage Data.fs.
Incremental backups using standard unix command line tools (i.e. tar or cpio), snapshot functionality, scalable packing without massive memory consumption: an inexpensive means for replication and high-availability clustering of a ZEO storage server. What's not to love?
