I think you don't have to be familiar with
anything specific for Zope. Simply backup
<Zope instance>/var/data.fs file (or data.fs
in ZEO server if you're using one). As the others
already said you may do it with cron and
some bash scripts.

If you need to backup only some portions of your's
ZODB then you'll have to deal with Zope export
features. You may also think about something like
zsyncer.
