No, you should not. Read chapter 24 of Zopebook for further details http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/MaintainingZope.stx ) at section titled 'Packing and Backing Up the FileStorage Database'
Thank in advance

Create a copy of the Data.fs and then create the copied file and not the original Data.fs file. -aj
The URL pointed to by Paolo seems to assume that Zope is running on UNIX/Linux. Are there any recommended practices for backing up Zope for those of us stuck on Win2K? I currently have a VBScript that stops the Zope service, zips up my INSTANCE_HOME, and then restarts the service. Is this method a sufficient backup procedure? Thanks, Andy.

The Zope Book chapter provides a script for packing the database automatically for Unix systems. Its advice on backing up the ZODB is OS-independant. (It does warn that tar won't work.) All you need to do to back up the ZODB in its usual FileStorage form is to copy it. You do not need to stop Zope: if you get caught in the middle of a transaction Zope will truncate it automatically on restart. DirectoryStorage doesn't work like this, but it has its own snapshotting tools. --jcc
