Compiling MySQL hot-backup tools & references; help?

[Matt England]

Hello,

I am compiling a list of tools and references for MySQL "hot" backup capabilities. The following is what I have thus far. Can anyone provide feedback for:

1) additional tools not referenced here,
2) additional references for procedures not listed here,
3) correct or comment on the existing stuff listed below?

Thanks for any help,
-Matt
