SVN Backup vbscript for Windows 2003

I had a particularly hard time finding a script for backing up my 
subversion repositories that was designed specifically for Windows, 
so I decided to hunker down and create my own.  Now I don't claim to 
be any kind of VBscript expert but I did the best with what I got.

I'm posting my script so that others can use it and not have to go 
through the same agony as I did.  I've tried to make it as portable 
and user friendly as possible.


'**********************************************************************
'*
'*  backup.vbs: performs a full backup using the hotcopy function once
'*              a week and incremental backups the remaining 6 days of
'*              the week using the dump command.  You can specify what
'*              day you want the full backup to occur and if it is the
'*              first time you are running the script it will recognize
'*              this and run a full backup regardless of what day it 
'*              is.  Prior to running the full backup the script will 
'*              clean all of the previous weeks backups.
'*                
'*  How to use: It is intended to be used as a scheduled job using 
'*              Windows' Task Scheduler.  
'*              Simply type "cscript <path to script>\backup.vbs" in 
'*              your new task a and select the time and days of the 
'*              week you want the backup to run. 
'*
'*              The script has been created and tested against:
'*                Subversion 1.4.3
'*                FSFS Database
'*                Windows 2003 Server

That's probably because most people install python and simply use the 
Hot-backup.py script (which is included in the subversion source tree) . 
This is also perfectly use-able from the Windows task scheduler.

The latest versions support zip, or bzip archives of the backed up repo 
dumps... quite nice.

Thanks for this. It is nice to have options for those who can install 
Python (for example).
