[Zope] Complete data loss - help please

[Robert Rottermann]

Zope's Data is in YOURZOPE/var/Data.fs
If you ever have packed your database there is also a Data.fs.old.
If you for some reason have corrupted your Data.fs, Data.fs.old should still
be fine.
Reflecting the state of the data when you packed the DB. You just have to
rename it.

So first go and save away what you find in the var directory and try whether
Data.fs.old is good enough..
