Re: [Zope] backing up a running zodb fileStorage

[gabor]

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?

It can be, although the odds are in your favor. The intended way to make backups is explained here: http://zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FileStorageBackup
