[Zope] Regarding ZOPE backup procedure

[george donnelly]

hey, I've been thinking about using Directory Storage but the alpha-ness has
scared me off. What experiences have people had with this? Is it ready for
production, multiple users and big databases? and is there a way to convert
an existing ZODB?
