Hot-backup.py and transactions problem

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
