Very well, apparently :-) It's a sequential transaction log, so, at worst, you'll loose the last transaction... cheers, Chris ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Well, bad _technically_, or bad _evil_? It does have the sole advantage you can pull a portion of your tree, and some people have had Data.fs problems (not me thankfully). But in general I'd guess backing up Data.fs to be the best way. How does it copy with non-atomicity of disk writes?
