I am a Zope newbie and have just ordered a managed server to run a web-journal on Zope. I recently had a little bother on my development machine and had to do a clean reinstall of the operating system. No, no, no! I did have a full backup :-). However I would appreciate some help on how to restore the data files i.e. where are they? And also any tips on what to avoid i.e. should I overwrite or simply add the data files to an existing folder etc. Many thanks Dapo

You should shut down Zope and remove "Data.fs.*" before you change "Data.fs". When you are sure, all previous products (Zope extensions) are installed again, you can simply restore "Data.fs". Dieter
Dieter I tried this but what I found on my back up tape on 'var' was a file 'Data.fs.index' 161kb. No 'Data.fs'. I installed this file to no effect. Any suggestions? Or have I misread your note?

You must have a file called Data.fs *somewhere* on your backup tape. Otherwise it's not a full backup! If you don't have anything by that name, you're hosed. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's MYRKSKOG-WENCH! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
