This will let you take a real-time backup of your InnoDB tables without taking the server down.

Hi,
I have MySQL 4.0.12 working on Debian Linux box. DB server uses MYISAM and InnoDB tables. MySQL docs shows what is the best way to backup InnoDB tables but I don't want to shutdown db server every backup time.
I suppose it is not a good idea to just copy database files and innodb log files to the safe place because of unwanted rollbacks danger.
What if I use mysqldump to backup databases data, and then I copy innodb log files to the safe place? I suppose I should flush tables first.
You can mysqldump InnoDB tables too. Copying InnoDB files (data or redologs) without shuting down mysql is a bad idea. You can also use mysql replication if you have spare server and do a cold backup from it.
