If I understand you correctly, you are interested in backing up a database
without using the mysqldump command, correct?  

You have a couple of options:

1) Issue a 'flush tables with read lock', backup the binary files of the
database, issue a 'unlock tables'.  However, no one will be able to access
the database during the period from the flush tables to the unlock
tables.  (see: http://www.mysql.com/doc/F/L/FLUSH.html)

2) Run replication and backup the slave with the above method.  Access to
the main database will not be affected.
