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
