i've read that you simply make a copy of the Data.fs file..

but what about the modifications/transactions that are happening when i 
make the copy.


will not the database be in a corrupt state then?


The ZODB will discard any incomplete transactions on startup. Copying a 
live ZODB is generally to be considered safe. Which is not to say there 
aren't better ways, as previously mentioned.

It can be, although the odds are in your favor.  The intended way to
make backups is explained here:
