You have many options like the people below just suggest... 1 - Use mysqldump 2 - Use mysqlhotcopy or 3 - do the mysqlhotcopy/mysqldump yourself
Since I found that neither 1 nor 2 gives exactly a perfect result in many backup scheme alone. I started working on something that complement 1 and 2 to do _good_ backup. I finally realize someone had done a similar job before and actually put more work into it and seems pretty serious about it! So you should look at mysql-zrm (http://www.zmanda.com/backup-mysql.html), The releases are actually pretty young but everything works quite well and I'm sure this project is on the good way to gives good backup abilities to mysql. It's simply using mysqldump and mysqlhotcopy depending of the configuration you asked for! It's somewhat the glue around mysqldump/mysqlhotcopy needed for easy and good backup!
