This certainly isn't *efficient*, but it works:

wget -http-user=usename -http-pass=password
http://your.site.com/Zope/path/to/wherever/manage_exportObject?download%3Ain
t=1

Will get you a .zexp of "/path/to/wherever", whereas:

wget <blah>
http://your.site.com/Zope/manage_exportObject?download%3Aint=1&toxml=Y

Will get you an XML export of your entire site.

Regards,
Phil

Hi all

What is the best way to backup Zope's database whithout stopping Zope?  When
I use backup, it just says that the file is in use and cannot be backed up.
What I have done so far is to copy the file in explorer and back that up -
but it feels kludgey and I'm not sure if I get the database in a state that
is safe.

Thanks all
Etienne
