Of course, you need to make certain that the MySQL being stopped is not
the one running your catalog.  ;)

Personally, I - both on my own systems, and on work systems - do not
back up MySQL data directories directly.  I dump the DBs and back up the
dumps, or I flush and freeze the tables for a moment, snapshot the
datadir, then thaw the tables and back up the snapshot.
