To make backup without locking is not a right way. If you want you can
lock tables to allow non-conflicting INSERT statements. You can read
more about LOCK TABLES and FLUSH statements at:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/L/O/LOCK_TABLES.html
http://www.mysql.com/doc/F/L/FLUSH.html
mysqldump is the solution for you. If you check the following link
you can find the description of mysqldump syntax, mysqldump options
and so on:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysqldump.html
I suggest you to also read section 4.4.1.Database Backup in the manual:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/a/Backup.html
