We use the repozo backup (and restore) tool that comes with Zope and 
include the backup repository in our normal backup regime (which uses 
backuppc). 

  <zopeinstalldir>/bin/repozo.py

Read inside the file for the doco. This tool is designed to work with 
live Data.fs files. Apart from some sort of live replication, it is the 
only way to go as far as I'm concerned, unless you are unconcerned about 
the possibility of corrupted backups.

Cheers,
Sam.
