For backing up InnoDB tables, I'd suggest having a look at mysqldump along with the --single-transaction option.
Try using the "--extended-insert" option with mysqldump. This will create an INSERT statement that groups the VALUES together, which will increase the speed of re-inserting the data into the database by a vast amount.
Here is an example of a line from a file created by the command, "mysqldump --user=me -p --extended-insert my_db > c:\db.sql"
i.e. INSERT INTO some_table VALUES (610,8197325,'2006-10-11 05:51:37'),(1220,2001647,'2007-08-07 15:01:28'),(6713,8470458,'2000-05-06 01:34:23');
