A very nice way to do 'virtually' live MySQL database backups is to replicate
to a dedicated or semi-dedicated 'backup' server. That server will have the
current data in it at all times. Then you can backup that server at will,
either by doing an on-line dump, or even shutting the server down and copying
the files.
Cheers,

I've tried Arkeia few months ago. The online backup and restore of
MySql databases worked well.

Net Valut from bakbone (www.bakbone.com) makes also online backup
(I've not tried MySql hot backup yet). There is a demo version so
you can give try.
With my little experience of both products, I can say that they are
both quite user friendly and can handle Linux/Solaris/Windows
clients (but Arkeia Server needs to installed on a Linux machine)...
We chosed NetVault beacause it can backup our INFORMIX server (which
can't be switch to Mysql yet :-( ) and LDAP servers online!
