hotcopy failing
I setup a repo using the FSFS file system. I can checkout/commit, etc,
with no problems. Tonight I tried to run a svnadmin hotcopy and it fails:
svnadmin hotcopy d:\repos\myproject d:\backup
svn: Can't copy 'd:/repos/myproject/db/DB_CONFIG' to
'd:/backup/db/DB_CONFIG.tmp': The
system cannot find the file specified.
Any ideas??

Thanks for that pointer!
I think I'm going to start over with this repo at home. I'm hesitant to
do much with it with this strange error. None of the repos I have at
work exhibit that behavior and it's a similar setup (WinXP, svn 1.2, etc).
It sounds like I can schedule my backups in the evening when there is no
svn traffic and just backup the repo itself...

I've never used hotcopy, so maybe there's something I don't know. But
the error message looks strange to me, since there is no file
DB_CONFIG in my FSFS repository's db directory.
Is d:\repos a folder containing many repositories, or is it itself
the repository? (IOW, is d:\repos\myproject a repository, or a path
within a repository?) If the former, then your syntax should be ok,
but if the latter, you should be backing up the whole repository:
svnadmin hotcopy d:\repos d:\backup
Are you sure you need to do a hotcopy? I am still under the
impression that a hotcopy is never necessary for an FSFS repository.
