My earlier suggestion: wget --http-user=username --http-pass=password \ http://server.name/Zope/path/to/folder/manage_exportObject?download%3Aint=1 Does not work (on Zope 2.2.5 at least) but this: wget --http-user=username --http-pass=password \ --header="Referer: http://server.name/Zope/path/to/folder/manage_importExportForm"\ http://server.name/Zope/path/to/folder/manage_exportObject?download%3Aint=1 ...does. Why does manage_exportObject check the Referer header? Is this by design?

This certainly isn't *efficient*, but it works: wget -http-user=usename -http-pass=password http://your.site.com/Zope/path/to/wherever/manage_exportObject?download%3Ain t=1 Will get you a .zexp of "/path/to/wherever", whereas: wget <blah> http://your.site.com/Zope/manage_exportObject?download%3Aint=1&toxml=Y Will get you an XML export of your entire site.

Hi all What is the best way to backup Zope's database whithout stopping Zope? When I use backup, it just says that the file is in use and cannot be backed up. What I have done so far is to copy the file in explorer and back that up - but it feels kludgey and I'm not sure if I get the database in a state that is safe.
