Is it really necessary to stop Zope when copying Data.fs? Assuming no one is logged in to your management interface and you don't have any pages that could alter Data.fs (or don't expect any changes at backup time) is it a problem? I have a script which backs up Data.fs to another machine on a nightly basis (usually around 3 am). The script makes 7 backups, keeping one for each day of the week. Is it conceivable that I could run into trouble if I don't stop Zope while the backup runs?

Just take a live snapshot of your ../var/Data.fs (as the crucial part).
To restore: stop Zope, copy this file in place, start Zope.

Hi folks - how does one go about backing up and restoring a production Zope server?
