For real fault tolerance you would need a fault tolerant file system with the current implementation. The current data store implementation does not have a replication mechanism, so if you backup data every 15 minutes, the amount of data you can possibly loose is 15 minutes (sorry to state the obvious). > 3) Finally, does JackRabbit still create local cached bin*.tmp files > when using the DataStore (as it does where BLOBs are in the database)? > (Hopefully not). For some situations it still does, however over time those cases will get less and less. You will possibly get temp files when you are using RMI or WebDAV, and when you export or import large objects using XML. Regards, Thomas
