Backup exported xml on SVN is a good idea. But as I know, the attachment in
testcase can't export with xml.

Thanks, very good information. A couple of remarks:

1) Can testcases be translated? Of course one can create a scenario 
where, say, all tests are translated into Italian; but maintaining and 
updating translations will be much easier if TestLink supports 
translations out of the box.

2) Can we establish a policy to use the "Export" function to archive 
testcases in the OpenOffice SVN repository at regular intervals? This 
will clarify any "intellectual property" issues and it will avoid 
disasters similar to what happened with TCM, where we had hundreds of 
testcases (translated into multiple languages) that were lost when 
Oracle turned off TCM (or the server hosting it, or the DNS record for it).

Regards,
   Andrea.

Thanks, very good information. A couple of remarks:

where, say, all tests are translated into Italian; but maintaining and 
updating translations will be much easier if TestLink supports 
translations out of the box.

2) Can we establish a policy to use the "Export" function to archive
