[opencms-dev] manual backup of resources

[Florian Kleedorfer]

hi all!

Does anyone know how you can "manually" backup a single CmsResource
without publishing it and  without having to backup the whole project?

Here's a sketch of the lifecycle that I would like to implement:

[creation]

public void CreateFile(CmsObject cms,  String filename, byte[]
myModifiedByteContent) {
     ...
    CmsResource newResource = cms.createResource( folder, name ,
"plain", null,     myNewByteContent);
    ...
}

[manipulation]
public void manipulateFile(CmsObject cms,  String filename, byte[]
myModifiedByteContent) {
    ...
    CmsFile file = cms.readFile(filename);
    <backup the CmsResource (i.e. the CmsFile),  need help here!>
    file.setContents(myModifiedByteContent);
    cms.writeFile(file);
    ...
}

[restoring]
public void restoreVersion(CmsObject cms,  String filename, int versionId) {
    <need help here!>
}


thx for your help!
