how make you sure "The server is not accessing the tables during the
copy process"

"The advantage of FLUSH TABLES table_name FOR EXPORT is that the table
is read locked until UNLOCK TABLES is executed" is not really true
because that's only valid for the running connection

"Warning: If you do the above live copy, you are doing this on your own
risk" should be clear

in short: nobody right in his mind copies database tables hot
