I read in the manual that MySQLHotCopy would be better than MySQLDump
for backing up MyISAM tables. However, I cannot find a .exe in the bin
directory by that name. I found a script by that name in a 4.1
installation that I have, but I don't think it's the latest version. Is
this a script? If so, does anyone know where can I get the latest copy?
I've checked MySQL.com, but can't seem to find it there.
Thanks,

Sorry pal: It runs on Unix and NetWare.
What version are you using? I assume Windows at least ( if still looking
for an .exe :-) ) Then please read this:

"8.13. mysqlhotcopy — A Database Backup Program
mysqlhotcopy is a Perl script that was originally written and
contributed by Tim Bunce. It uses LOCK TABLES, FLUSH TABLES, and cp or
scp to make a database backup quickly. It is the fastest way to make a
backup of the database or single tables, but it can be run only on the
same machine where the database directories are located. mysqlhotcopy
works only for backing up MyISAM and ARCHIVE tables. It runs on Unix and
NetWare. "
