Hi again,

sorry - forgot to mention:
I actually wanted to export the object and all its children recursively so that I have a complete backup of the content. The use case is to move the content from one server to another.

Thanks once again for helping and best regards,
Chris

Hi list,

I have Zope installed using the following config:
Zope 2.9.4-final, python 2.4.3, sunos5

I´d like to export an object which has several children. Using the web
management console, I navigate to the root folder and checked the
checkbox for the object to export. After that, I clicked the
export/import button. The object ID showed up correctly, so I clicked
the export button, wanting to leave the export file on the server.
The export seemed to work. At least, I found a file on my server.
Unfortunately, the only content of the file was one line:
ZEXPÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
The file itself is only 20k of size.

And? What did you except? What should it contain? It contains a binary format - to be exactly: the Python pickle of the selected object.
