So where is your *real* problem? Export/import works fine, we have tools like ZSyncer, we have ZEO...something you're missing? It is not my problem. I just pointed that copying data.fs between instances is not only and not preferrable way to distribute application versions among zope instances.
In my view, you have been right to warn against copying "Data.fs" to synchronize between development and production installations.
Copying the Data.fs is reasonable solution for some situation when you want to a complete site from a *staging* area to a production site. Otherwise you depend on tools like ZSyncer or toys like CMFStaging depending on your setup and deployment policies.
In allmost all cases (whenever the production instance gathers some data from its users), this will lead to desaster (through data loss).
Only a numpty would do that :-) Andreas
