you cannot use mysqlhotcopy to back up InnoDB type tables. Only the .frm

mysqlhotcopy does not copy ibdata files or ib_logfiles, and if it would do
that, the copies could be corrupt because of writes the database meanwhile
does to these files.

Shouldn't it be renamed to myisamhotcopy then?

... if it doesn't work with MySQL as a whole, the tool should be renamed. Plus, a tool that does in fact work with MySQL as a whole would be nice.
