I usually try to avoid "Read the documentation" type responses, but I think this might be a good time to suggest it. The mysql docs tell you pretty clearly that backing up the database files directly is not going to work. You need to either dump the databases and back those up (a number of methods have been presented) or use a tool specifically designed to do them on the fly. Dustin posted a link to that a couple of days ago. LP
