Debian MySQL & OpenLDAP - file level backup

Hi All,

The MySQL & OpenLDAP database on my Debian are very lightly updated.
Usually I tar everything on / including the databases.
The restore works OK on another machine.

I want to know whether its safe to do file level backup of databases like this ?

Do the MySQL & OpenLDAP databases have mechanisms to start even if some records are inconsistent ?
