i am trying to backup a zodb filestorage of a running zope. i'm on linux.

i've read that you simply make a copy of the Data.fs file..

but what about the modifications/transactions that are happening when i make the copy.

will not the database be in a corrupt state then?

The ZODB will discard any incomplete transactions on startup. Copying a live ZODB is generally to be considered safe. Which is not to say there aren't better ways, as previously mentioned. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/
