Re: [Zope] Storing the entire Zope db to a file
What do you mean by references? AFAIK, ALL ZODB data is stored in data.fs. Besides, the worst it'll do is kill your new install, which won't have any data in it anyway :-0 Chris Ken Kinder wrote:
That sounds dangerous... how do I know it won't mess up references?

Am I being thick or can you just copy data.fs to your new install? (after you made sure the new install has all the necessary products installed...)

Some idiot in the server room unplugged my server in his infinite wisdom, and now it seems my Z SQL Method product is mysteriously broken. I need to re-install Zope but I don't want to loose all my valuable work.
How can I dump to a file and recover, but have everything still work on a totally different instance of Zope. This needs to work with installed products like my Oracle db adapter.

Think of it as a normal upgrade to a zope installation. There is no harm caused by giving a new installation an old data.fs file. Check out the Install/Upgrade HowTo for a bit of hand holding: http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO This walks you through exactly what files need to be where in order to transfer old data files.
