Of course they changed.

I usually try to avoid "Read the documentation" type responses, but I
think this might be a good time to suggest it. The mysql docs tell you
pretty clearly that backing up the database files directly is not going
to work. You need to either dump the databases and back those up (a
number of methods have been presented) or use a tool specifically
designed to do them on the fly. Dustin posted a link to that a couple of
days ago.
