---------------

    Folders are the building blocks of Zope. The purpose of a folder is to
    *contain* other objects, and to *organize* objects by separating them
    into different groups.

       Each time we create an object such as a folder, Zope saves everything in its database in the file Data.fs.

       Am I correct? Thanks.

       Yes.

       So are you saying that to "copy" my Zope setup to another box I could simply copy the Data.fs file? Could you
       explain the function of Data.fs.in, Data.fs.lock and Data.fs.tmp?
       Data.fs contains a lot of binary content. Is there a way to "recover" it if Zope becomes unusable?
