But to do this, I have to log in (of course I have to supply user-name and password) before selecting my object to backup and selecting "Export". So I will have to do every "backup" manually...
Is there any way to "script" this, so a backup can be done automatically?
If you google for "zope backup howto" you'd find this: http://www.zope.org/Members/dlutzy/Zope_backup_meta-howto which is a list of backup-related links. If you have access to the server on which Zope is running, you would probably be better off just backing up your ZOPE_DIR/var/Data.fs file, which works really easily as all changes are appended at the end so you can just copy/scp/rsync it even while Zope is running. As for scripting it - use cron or windows task scheduler and write a script that copies the file. If you don't have access to the server, and you really need to use the export function, you should be able to pass the user/pass with a command-line HTTP client like wget, so you can still do it from a script, e.g.: $ wget --http-user="donald" --http-password="duck" http://myserver.com:8080/manage_exportObject?id=some_folder&download:int=1 Sorry, I don't know the windows equivalent. Hope that helps, Felix.
