Thanks but I don't have access to MySQL nor to the client that makes the update. I don't even know if it locks the tables or not.
I would like to just copy some files in order to create a backup but I don't want to copy them while they are locked. However, I don't know if this is possible, because now I am thinking that if my program starts copying the files, they might start beeing updated just after I have started the copy process...
