Last year in a two piece article I wrote for SysAdmin Magazine, I touched on 
the future evolution of the MySQL Backup API:

For those who use MySQL in production systems.. it looks like the MySQL Backup 
API is now being released in the alpha 5.2 code.  Moving forward, this API 
will eventually work for ALL TABLE TYPES and could really help move MySQL up 
in the world of fast, production grade databases.  More info here:
