[Zope] Backup / redundancy: Is data.fs enough ?

[Pavlos Christoforou]

Hi Dimitris

Backing up the Data.fs file should be enough (it does not depend on 
platform/architecture) assuming all the neccessary products are installed
on both servers.

If you want to get more fancy, the way Data.fs is written (basically
appends new transactions at the end) lends itself to very efficient
backup techniques.
