[Zope] How to maintain an up-to-date mirror site in Zope? (not-so-newbie question!) question!)

[Andy McKay]

Have a look at the excellent Client_Server product. It allows you to export
chunks of objects from one to another.

Then:
- write a script that each evening
- gets a list of every object in the data.fs and its
bobobase_modification_time
- runs export on each of those objects from A - B.

> Here is the situation, can you offer advice?
>
> Machine A is running a Zope server for a wide-area network in Company A.
> This is an Intranet site which changes regularly.
> Machine B serves a separate wide-area network in Company B, and Company B
> employees need access to Company A's intranet.
> The link between Machine A and Machine B is too slow/low-bandwidth for all
> of company B's employees to access A's intranet directly.
> Therefore we want to have a Zope server on Machine B with a mirror copy of
> the Company A intranet.
> The problem is, how can we keep this mirror copy updated on a daily basis?
>
> Ideally we need an automatic process to run each night and update the
mirror

be
