hot-backup.py
Hi everyone,
I am new to Subversion, and I am using TortoiseSVN-1.7.3 and Slik-Subversion-1.7.2 on my XP system (Service Pack 3). I would like to know if there is a Windows version of "hot-backup.py" which I can use. It appears the script in "tools\backup" is written for a Unix environment.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kamran Salari

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

Could you try running it under "CygWin" on Windows?

Please stop doing that immediately and set up a proper server.

Hi Mark,
I am not running a server right now. Our repository is on another computer and I access it through a network mapped drive.
Thanks,
Kamran

You might want to consider installing and running Subversion Edge on
your server:
http://www.open.collab.net/products/subversion/SVNedge.html
It provides a web based UI for managing your repositories and one of
the features it provides is scheduled backups. So you can schedule a
hot copy backup to run hourly/daily as well as how many versions to
keep. Then you do not have to mess around with scripts and Windows
task schedulers.
