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.
