And don't forget, hot backups aren't free, they're either $400 a year or
$1000 perpetual license, as per:
http://www.innodb.com/hotbackup.html
so, you can pay $1,000 to hot backup a database that has transactions
bolted onto the side, or $0.00 for hot backups for a database that was
built as a transactional engine from day one.
