Hot System Backups and an active MySQL Database

[Bob Tanner <tanner@real-time.com>]

Any problems doing a hot system backup with a very active MySQL database
running?

I am using BRU, but will use any tools that will work. 

I know with Oracle I have to "freeze" the database if I want to do a hot
backup, so is there the same thing with MySQL?
