Create another top level folder in your repository, e.g. 'backup'
(right beside 'trunk', 'branches', 'tags'). Then, each user can create
a folder in there with his/her name.

Now, to backup the working copy, simply use the "branch/tag" command.
Enter the URL to the 'backup/myname/thisismyfirstbackup', check the
radiobutton "Working copy", enter a log message, hit OK and you're
done.
