Getting off of Zope
Well, it's only been a month since I had to rebuild this site from backups and now I have Zope data corruption again. I can't create a backup of the site currently. I don't know whether to suspect my hardware or not; the current box I've got this running together has been patched together, but other than these Zope problems, everything seems fine.
I'm considering chucking this all and going to Movable Type. I'm getting a little sick of having to care for and feed Zope. At least with MT or Geeklog all my site data would be in MySQL databases, not a monolithic, behind-the-curtains DB that Zope uses. That would aid in backups and recovery.
I will try to use FSRecover over the weekend to see if I can get the DB back to being healthy, but if I can't perform exports on my site to back it up, I'm outta here.
I've got a script that seems to get all the data out of the site in MT's export format, although comments come out vanilla, without HTML tags. I think I'll invest some time in getting that export script working; I may need it.
