Tedd, The one thing to watch is the table types. If there are InnoDb tables, they need to be handled differently than the MyIsam. There are changes in the command that need to be there to better handle the grabbing of the snapshot of the db - For InnoDB tables, you should use the --single-transaction option - For MyISAM there is --lock-tables.
