Neutral format means without meta information stored in properties?
Dont mention filetype problems.
If you store your zope versions with regular backups of Data.fs,
there is no need to dissemble your object tree in plain files.
If you need the data, Data.fs is just as good as a file system
it only needs a different "driver" which is the Zope from the
time it was stored. Best practice is to store Zope source in a CVS.
Data.fs may or may not be stored there as well.
