MySQL Forums :: Backup :: MySQLdump pause event.

There is option "dump-slave" of mysqldump, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysqldump.html#option_mysqldump_dump-slave, which writes CHANGE MASTER statement into dump file with position of master binary log and slave. You can also be interesting in master-data option (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysqldump.html#option_mysqldump_master-data).

Alternatively you can use mysqlbackup (MEB) with option --slave-info (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-enterprise-backup/3.7/en/backup-special-options.html)
