Hope this helps, from Tokutek's website: http://www.tokutek.com/solutions/
Edit, oops followed parents link to this: http://www.tokutek.com/products/tokudb-for-mysql/:

"Tools such as Hot Backup (coming soon) allow a backup to be completed while database is running."

- Does that mean that someone using the opensource version would be unable to take a backup of a running database?

Someone using the open source version can take backups just as they would with our versions prior to 7.0:

- snapshots (LVM, EBS, etc...)

- cold backups

- mysqldump (with MVCC, this is technically hot)
