That figures.  As

    http://zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FileStorageBackup

says, fstest quits upon finding the first problem.  If I were you, I'd
temporarily comment out this part of fstest.py, to see whether it finds
anything else wrong:

    if tid <= ltid:
        raise FormatError("%s time-stamp reduction at %s: %s <= %s" %
                          (path, pos, hexify(tid), hexify(ltid)))

You certainly have ZODB.FileStorage, so you'll need to fiddle your
PYTHONPATH so fsrefs can find it.  You haven't said which OS you're using,
so it's hard to be more specific than that.  It depends on where this stuff
got installed on your box.  If this is a Zope installation, you'll want to
get Zope's lib/python subdirectory on PYTHONPATH.  Then the import will
work.

I don't know.  It depends on how badly damaged your .fs file is.  That
hasn't been determined yet.
