InnoDB Hot Backup is a good tool. Have a look here: http://www.innodb.com/order.php But mysqldump is very often good as well. Have a look here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqldump.html You should read carefully about --lock-all-tables, --lock-tables, --single-transaction, --all-databases command line options. Search in the archives at: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql for possible backup solutions where tables of both types are present.
