[Zope3-Users] Re: zodb objects backup

[Laurence Rowe]

Hi,

Under Zope 2 I use repozo (and rsync) to incrementally back up the 
Data.fs to provide a 'warm' backup, If you can live with losing perhaps 
10 minutes worth of data it's a nice and simple solution. repozo.py is 
a zodb file storage level tool so should work fine with zope 3.

Ensuring that every transaction is replicated is more difficult, Zope 
Corp's ZRS does it, but was uneconomic for my use case. It's a tricky 
problem to solve efficiently - any solution will incur a write 
performance hit. One day I hope to be able to put PGStorage to the test, 
  but even in postgres-land there appear to be many projects providing 
replication functionality, perhaps a testament to the tradeoffs required.

Regards,

Laurence
