Hi, I recently had some problems with my site involving CookieUserFolder, so I was trying to back it out. However, even after removing all CUF folders and the product, I still had cookie authentication coming up (apparently following the information in regular UserFolders (?)). Anyway, thinking that something invisible was going on in the site, I tried exporting and importing a large part of the site. The export seemed to work, but the import failed, initially with a complaint about an __init__() not receiving enough parameters. This was apparently from a DTMLFile class instance. Unfortunately, I hadn't backed up the Data.fs right before doing this (I was unfortunately relying on the export to work -- I know ... I should've known better). Anyway, I was hoping to try to recover this XML export file. I made a copy and tried to chop out references to the CookieUserFolder and DTMLFile objects. I figured I'd probably lose some data, but might be able to get the bulk of it to load. I did this by cutting "item" and "record" elements containing the strings "CookieUserFolder" or "DTMLFile". I did get past the __init__ error, but now am seeing a new one: cPickle.BadPickleGet I should also mention that this XML file is just over 64 megabytes in size -- I suppose I could be running out of memory or something. I don't know enough about how it's parsed to know if that's likely (but surely Zope export files are expected to be large?). I'm also inquiring with my hosting provider, who I think keeps fairly frequent backups -- I may be able to restore a not-too-old copy of my Data.fs file, but I'm hoping to get some recent data out, if at all possible. I don't really understand the structure in the XML export file. It looks really fine-grained, and I'm not sure I can easily extract data based on the original folder structure -- is there any chance of doing that (i.e. finding the most important elements out of the file and restoring just those?). Is there a way to trace the exact point in the export file where Zope failed (as it is, I get a traceback that refers to the importing code, but doesn't tell me what it was chewing on when it choked). I tried to search the Zope site for some information on this, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for exactly. Well, anyway, any advice appreciated. I feel like an idiot, but maybe I'll learn something useful out of it.
