Barry,
I assume that what you are doing is stopping mysql, running the backup, and
starting it again. If so, a better idea would be to call mysqldump, and then
archive the dump. This way you can leave MySQL running and keep services up.
I archive both my running mysql and the daily dumps. In most of my casual uses
cases, I've found I could restore the MySQL instance without problems. In
those that managed to capture the DB in an unstable state, I just restored the
dump.
Regards,
Tyler
