As my server does not get alot of traffic I tend to shutdown mysql, and do an OS copy of the complete /var/lib/mysql directory to another partition on another drive. Then restart mysql again.
This may not be a feasable option on a busy server. Obviously each person has their way of doing backups. I do need to study the manual myself on all available backup options.
