Sounds good... (I am not sitting at a machine I can see all the utilities). Google found: http://www.zope.org/Members/fritz/howto_compress_datafs_using_cron http://people.enginesofcreation.ie/mick/archives/000027.html But I still think the utility is the best option. As a note, since Packing the ZODB is a pretty "serious" thing, you might want to make sure you have a good backup beyond the backup that Zope makes before packing it. For me, I pack that database when I am A) sure there is little traffic and B) I can get to and recover it quickly if something goes wrong. Jake -- http://www.ZopeZone.com Chris Herrnberger said:

There is a utilities (down in ~lib/python/ZODB/ ?) called fsrecover.py that has an option to pack the database.
On my 2.6.2 test install, there is also fspack.py which I presume is preferable over fsrecover.py for simply packing the db?
