If you are starting tiddlywiki on node with `tiddlywiki /home/username.wiki/ --listen <<ARGS>>` then yes, this seems like a good "quick" backup strategy. Because of the way TW modularly loads itself in node & the browser, you should have everything you need from the "/home/username.wiki/" ZIP files. Bare monimum you would need is the "tiddlywiki.info" file (a JSON describing the TW startup options for that wiki) and the contained "tiddlers/" folder inside the wiki folder.
You can simply unzip an archive anywhere, and replace that directory in the command to start the TW server. Alternately, you can use the `tiddlywiki ~/Path/To/MyWiki --rendertiddler $:/core/save/all index.html text/plain` to render the folder-style wiki into a single "index.html" file (or change the 2nd parameter in the command), which will be placed in a newly created "output/" folder in the wiki directory.
