I am trying to implement hot backup for MyIsam tables with "percona-xtrabackup-2.0.0" and getting the following error? As the all tables are MyIsam I doubt am I using the correct package ?
  Backup :
    ./innobackupex --user="root" --password=<pass> --defaults-file="<path>/my.cnf" --ibbackup="<path>/percona-xtrabackup-2.0.0/bin/xtrabackup" <path>/backup/
    innobackupex: fatal error: no 'mysqld' group in MySQL options
    innobackupex: fatal error: OR no 'datadir' option in group 'mysqld' in MySQL options
    apply-log :
    ./innobackupex-1.5.1 --apply-log --defaults-file=<path>/backup/2012-06-02_09-59-30/backup-my.cnf --ibbackup=<path>/percona-xtrabackup-2.0.0/bin/xtrabackup <path>/backup/2012-06-02_09-59-30/
