sql, query

Right now, every day I run the equivalent of a mysqlhotcopy on my
database (read-lock the tables, copy the files, unlock the tables).

This freezes up everything (websites, etc.) that uses the database for
10 minutes. That is too long.

Is there a way to get a snapshot of the database without locking the
tables? Do I need to convert from MyISAM to InnoDB perhaps?
