Andreas' idea will work but it doesn't create a 'zero downtime' 
environment as the copy and the rsync take some amount of time during 
which other transactions can be applied to the ZODB.

Zope Replication Services (ZRS) minimizes cluster downtime while 
maximizing the transactional integrity of the ZODB.  Downtime is 
limited to the time necessary to detect failure and transition to the 
secondary ZRS storage server.  Transactions are saved on the primary 
storage server *and* sent into the ZRS cloud for storage on some number 
of secondary servers.

I would be delighted to provide additional info off-list if you're 
interested.

Regards,
Rob
