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.

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.
