InnoDB Backups

[Mauro Marcellino]

I have made a couple of other postings related to this but I guess my
question is:
 
Can I backup InnoDB tables (binary files) using an open file agent?
 
If yes...and I am using Automatic COMMITs my backup will be current?
 
 If I am not using Automatic COMMITs then my backup will contain data up
to the last COMMIT (In other words, data since the last COMMIT will not
be included in the backup.  Is this true?
 
 
I appreciate any guidance...Thanks Much!
