I have had zope running here for a few days now to investigate using it as a place for the whole company to be able to put documents that they want to share with the rest. This will be a lot of files with very few changes each day and I realize now that everything is stored in all one file -- var/data.fs. So, the questions become: 1) How will this impact my backups? As I see it, eventually this file will become huge and I will be saving it to the backup tape every day. How can I only save the changes? Is there a way to get it to keep objects of type "File" external? 2) What do I do to restore only part of it? Often I get people that say they need something restored from several days ago because thay made a mistake. How can I handle this with everything in one file? 3) Should I be using a different product, like Apache + mod_dav and leave zope for more dynamic content? Apache does not have the integrated access management. People would need to edit the .htaccess files manually. -- Gary Algier, WB2FWZ gary.algier@ulticom.com +1 856 787 2758 Ulticom Inc., 1020 Briggs Rd, Mt.
