This is not the point. rsync will run into if the file to be synced changes

Nobody is wrong. Your #debian guys just had not all informations.
Zope is always appending to Data.fs, copy (cp) works linear, so
it would always maintain a consistent state of this file.
(It either copies before or after the last append operation)

If you create a local copy, it is safe. If you rsync a running Data.fs, it
is not safe. In this case you

zope might write to the Data.fs while it is copied, thus an inconsistent

if you insist on copying a file, _and_ happen to be on linux with some

The main problem with this backup approach is, that the zope instance is

Why do you think that this is a problem?
Of course, your backup process may read a partial

Also don't forget to backup all the products and zope.conf once
