Hi Dimitris Backing up the Data.fs file should be enough (it does not depend on platform/architecture) assuming all the neccessary products are installed on both servers. If you want to get more fancy, the way Data.fs is written (basically appends new transactions at the end) lends itself to very efficient backup techniques.

Hi there, Suppose I have Zope properly installed on 2, not necessarily the same, servers. Say a RedHat on an i386 and an NT box.
My goals are two: 1) to be able to backup my site regularly and easily and 2) to have one of them as a main server and the other as a redundancy server. So if the Redhat fails / crashes / gets hacked / whatever I want the NT box (or another Redhat, it doesn't matter) to serve exactly the same content.
Will it be enough to keep the data.fs file and transfer it between the machines ? I thought that maybe this can't be done if the machines / OSes are different. Is this the case ?
