[Veritas-bu] MySQL Backups via Snapshot Client?

Has anyone used the Snapshot client (or snapshotting in general) to backup a MySQL database? I have some 24/7 MySQL databases that I can’t shutdown to export all their files (these are some very large databases and it would take too much time) and I’ve been looking for a better way to back them up.

Any ideas? – Thanks!
