Hi Josef,

It should copy everything in ZODB. Anything that's stored on the
filesystem will not be copied. If I recall correctly there are also some
objects that store filesystem "paths" in ZODB, and for these the path
will have to be updated for the new environment.

This is usually due to changing python versions (e.g., 1.5.2 to 2.1.1).
Are you upgrading Python and Zope, or just moving Zope from one system
to another?

good luck!
