Perhaps someone can comment on current MySQL backups procedures. I
believe that MySQL used to (still does?) require shutdown to be backed
up. I don't know whether this was true for all engines or whether it
might have been fixed. Having to shutdown a database to make a backup is
a non-starter for anything that other than a toy (or read-only)
databases.
