It seems to work quite well. The documentation could use a bit of updating, but it only took me 20 minutes or so to figure it out.
If you are using the InnoDB table type, I believe that there is no other way to do a hot backup. The other hot-backup scripts that come with MySQL work only with MyISAM tables (and possibly BDB, ISAM, etc). The InnoDB hot-backup tool is the only way to get a consistent backup without shutting down your database.
