---------------
This script should be run daily from cron. It will create
day-of-week subdirectories under '/archive/zope', and update the
'Data.fs' file there with the current version. 'rsync' only
transmits *differences* between files, so only a minimal amount
of disk copying is needed. This could be advantageous especially
for large ZODB databases.

what does rsync do if the file is modified during copying? I had the impression from zope list discussions
that it's safer to copy Data.fs first, then rsync the copy.
A newer option that deserves mention here is using repozo.py for incremental backups.
