There is the mysqlhotcopy, it's faster too. However, It will only work if all your tables are MyIsam.

I'm using Mysql 5.0.2 w/ Windows 2003 server, and there is a bug with the mysqldump utility. The bug is actually with the Describe table statement, or Show fields from table statement...
It's been documented on mysql.com, so I'm wondering if there is a simple alternative to mysqldump that I can use to backup the database, until this bug is resolved in a future release?
Thanks, Scott
