FileMaker Server keeps a lot of data in a RAM cache. Even if the
database is backed up by Retrospect without errors, I am not sure
that guarantees that the file will be in a known good state.
I recommend preventive paranoia, have FileMaker perform database
copies using its internal scheduling, and use Retrospect to backup
the copies.
