Hello, I have created a little cron script that creates a daily tarball from my entire Zope dir. But in order to do this I must stop Zope - create the tarball and then start Zope again. I now that Zope will only be down for about 2 minutes or so but customers don't like that :-) So I was wondering if there was a way to do a daily backup without stopping Zope ?
