if i want to backup a server running a mysql-db and i just backup

in the manual about the VSS problematic and save state in RDBMS
on windows, but in my case, the mysql db runs on linux.
i dont want to dump the mysql-dbs before the backup, because this would
take days...
How large is your database?
well, actually its more than one database. its a lamp system running
dozens of databases.
dumping them all would really eat up a lot of time...
so, do i risk corrupted mysql-dbs or do i just risk to miss a query ?
I *always* suggest dumping the database and going from there. If
this isn't an option, I suggest following up on the MySQL project
with suggestions.
allright, thanx,
Philipp
