Another archiving option
As I've noted here before, there are a lot of potential uses for the new import/export framework. One of them is archiving.
Let's say that you want to preserve the HR department's shared directory. Backing up the content means a lot more than just copying the files and folders. There's also all the information about the document--document classes, security settings, comments, etc.--that needs to be preserved. How do you store this extra information as part of the backup?
This short research note answers that question.
