create another exact copy of a zope instance running along with data

139 Views Asked by At

Hi guys I'm quite new to zope and I have a situation where I have to clone the whole zope instance running along with data. I have already tried copying Data.fs to new zope instance but it didn't work. The version of zope I'm using is quite old(Zope - 2.10.6, Python - 2.4) . Can some one help me with this.

You can copy the data.fs, thats not a problem. But the new setup should have similar versions of all packages. If you want to do an upgrade with the copy, you can setup a newer version, let's say the next major version. When this ist running, you can replace the data.fs with your copy. Also delete the data.fs.* files, as they need to be regenerated with the replaced data.fs.

If you tell us more about your errors, we might help you more. Also tell us what you exactly want to archive.
