MySQL does not have any kind of native snapshotting capability, no. It is becoming somewhat common to run large MySQL deployments on filesystems which do (like ZFS) to get a similar effect, albeit without the ability to restore a snapshot on a host while that database host is online. There is even some experimental work going on in the community to use ZFS snapshots as a state-transfer mechanism for laggy nodes in a Galera MySQL cluster, which seems promising.
