Thank you. That'd be exactly what I need. I can easily find the uid (object identifier) for the journal entry I want--i.e., the one created by Turtle Block's "Save snapshot" option.
Would you please point me to whatever info/doc is available on those cmd line utilities you mentioned? I just need to read an object (e.g., given its uid) out of the datastore and write it to regular file(s). Plus the reverse operation: given such file(s), create a new object in the datastore. It seems conceptually simple. Of all the metadata I see for a TB snapshot, all attrs could remain unchanged after recreating the object--except for the uid. But I'm having trouble writing the code because I've no experience with asynchronous D-Bus calls, so any existent code would be a huge help. About running a persistent image: that would only solve some problems. I still wouldn't be able to recover from various crashes or to take my work over to other computers/VMs. This solution I'm pursuing, albeit messy, is powerful enough to do the job.

Any reason you don't want to run a persistent image? -- Sent from: http://sugarlabs.1511649.n2.nabble.com/Sugar-on-a-Stick-development-f3721053.html _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
