do this first on live data
/usr/local/bin/rsync -az --delete --force /path/to/database /backup/dir
then read lock the tables and
/usr/local/bin/rsync -az --delete --force /path/to/database /backup/dir
would be faster that mysqlhotcopy? any ideas anyone?
or would it be slower taking time to do diffs and cp?
