Hot-backup.py and transactions problem

["Gonzalez Diaz, Xoan" <G2...@caixagalicia.es>]

Hi all,

 

I have Subversion 1.4.5 installed on a machine B with Windows XP, Apache
2.2 and ldap authentication. 

I have a machine A with a folder containing the repositories
(C:\SVNRepositories) and a repository inside called RepositoryA.

 

I am testing (in machine A) possibilities of hot-backup.py but it seems
that something is wrong with my tests. Basically I am trying to do a
backup and restore a repository.

 

These are the steps that I am taking:

 

1.	Execute, in a command prompt, the following command:

 

python hot-backup.py --archive-type=zip "C:\
SVNRepositories\RepositoryA" "D:\Backup SVN\temp"

 

The command is executed successfully  and a file called
RepositorioA-4536.zip is created at D:\Backup SVN\temp

 

2.	I rename C:\ SVNRepositories\RepositoryA to C:\
SVNRepositories\RepositoryA.old

 

3.	I extract the folder in RepositoryA -4536.zip  and copy (Windows
copy) it in C:\SVNRepositories

 

4.	I rename C:\ SVNRepositories\RepositoryA -4536 to C:\
SVNRepositories\RepositoryA

 

5.	If I try to add a file to a directory (with TortoiseSVN) in the
repository or make a commit appears the following error:

 

Can't create directory

'\\machineA\SVNRepositories\RepositoryA\db\transactions\4536-1.txn':

El sistema no puede halla la ruta especificada

 

It means something like System could not find the given path

 

6.	Looking at C:\SVNRepoositories\RepositoryA\db there is no
transactions directory, but it exists in
C:\SVNRepositories\RepositoryA.old\db

 

It seems permissions are the same in C:\SVNRepositories\RepositoryA.old
and C:\SVNRepositories\RepositoryA

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

 Is it normal that hot-backup don't backup transactions directory?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Xoan

No. In my experience, it most definitely backups up the transactions 
directory.

Look inside your original zip file before you unzip and copy it (use 
winzip or 7zip)... is the "transactions" directory there?
