This is specific of the tar. Zope does not care if you open the file for reading in the middle of the write.
One solution would be a copy of (at least Data.fs) into another directory and backup of this.
Since I change my zope via CVS, I only have to backup Data.fs (The CVS repository gets backed up otherwise)
