Okay. I'll see about upgrading to 2.10.3 and check out that web site to read up on versions. I think what I may need to do is just recreate my changes outside of the version, which of course will take longer, but at least I won't risk losing anything. I had no idea versions were so buggy; I wouldn't have used them in the first place if I had. :/ Thanks, all, for the help; I really appreciate it! Cathy ----- Catherine E.

Yes, but the Version feature was removed after zope 2.7.
From the changelog for zope 2.8: "* Removed Version objects from the add menu. Versions are agreed to be a feature that should not be used as it is not well implemented and allows for data loss."
I hate to say this, but my Zope knowledge is very limited. I'm really only using it because it's what my predecessor used to build the web site in the first place, and she's not a whole lot of help now.
That's never a fun situation to be in with any technology... if your budget affords it, it might be cost effective to bring in a consultant for a short time to explore your predecessor's system and get you up to speed on it. To learn about versions, read this: http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/ZopeServices.stx#1-3 especially note the "Caveat: Versions and ZCatalog" which might be related to your problems (just guessing... we don't know if you're using a ZCatalog).
I went here (http://wiki.zope.org/ZODB/FileStorageBackup) to read up on backups, but I'm afraid it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
We can't guess which parts don't make sense to you :) Maybe come back with more specific questions here or on IRC? The #zope channel on irc.freenode.net is often quiet, but there's a lot of knowledgable zope people in #plone and that channel is more active. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
