Here's a patch to hot-backup, then.

It allows a format of "zip64" to be specified; this tells the python ZipFile class that it is allowed to produce a .zip with ZIP64 extensions, if the data to be compressed cannot fit in a non-ZIP64 zipfile. I've tested it with my enormous repository, and it works as expected.

Comments/criticism/commits welcome :-)
