Question about hot-backup.py

[Robert Dailey <rc...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I noticed that hot-backup.py does not create a dump file of the repository,
but instead copies the filesystem directory tree directly and compresses
that. Was this intentional? Is there a way to force it to perform a dump
first?

Thanks.

It was intentional.

Dumps and hotcopies are two different things.

hot-backup.py is a script that works on the "svnadmin hotcopy" commands 
and not the "svnadmin dump" commands.
