Each DB has its own methods. The integrity and consistency of relational data is of crucial importance. I would only trust the approved and recommended backup tool for the DB.
I normally write separate commandline scripts to do the backups which run from cron during the night. The script also rsyncs a copy to another server. I keep a daily backup for an entire month naming the files db_01, db_02 ... db_31. Then the next month will overwrite the previous month. In my case backups over a month old are pretty useless. Clearly you will have to analyse your own requirements. Those scripts can run for years without any maintenance so its worth a little thought to get them right.
