I have made a basic export facility, which can dump an elephant database to sexp format, and restore it. It can be used to take snapshots of your database. I use it quite often to migrate databases: darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/grand-prix/darcs/gp-export The biggest negative feature is that the whole database must fit into memory, but when our database becomes bigger than that I will fix it.. Also, if you use a database backend (clsql/postmodern) the database will most often have a live backup feature built in. At least postgresql has. /Henrik
