Thanks for responding to my question. I changed the paths for svnlook.exe and
svnadmin.exe to their absolute paths. I used the following command,
"hot-backup.py --help", to check the program. I got the following error
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
L:\CONTROLS\Kamran\Subversion\BackupScript>hot-backup.py --help
File "L:\CONTROLS\Kamran\Subversion\BackupScript\hot-backup.py", line 73
chmod_tree(dirname, 0666, 0666)
^
SyntaxError: invalid token
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not know why it is not just printing the Usage information and exit. I
tried backing up the repository, I got the same error.
Thanks,
Kamran

Actually, the hot-backup.py script is cross-platform. It uses Python's
subprocess module, which works fine on Windows (it's used in the
Subversion test suite). I just tested the script again on Windows 7, just
to be sure.
Enter the absolute paths to svnlook.exe and svnadmin.exe at the top
of the script, e.g.,
svnlook = r"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svnlook.exe"
and you're all set.
Cheers,
Steve
