hot-backup.py question

Hi all,

I want to automatically backup my repository once per day. The Subversion book
pointed me to svnadmin hotcopy and to the Python script hot-backup.py.in, which
is found under tools/backup/ in the source tarball.

Why is the file called hot-backup.py.in and not simply hot-backup-py? Does the
".in" indicate that this is an include file for a larger Python script
somewhere? (I'm asking because I do not know Python.)

Also, where can I find information on how to use this script?

In case it matters, I am using subversion-1.6.15.

Thanks,
Soong
