Packing can change old transactions (by deleting no longer used object records). Also note that a FileStorage contains back references (references from one object record to a previous object record). Such back references make it difficult to sticht together a backup for transactions until a given tid and one for transaction from this tid onward -- when some packing has happened in between. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - [email protected] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
