Yes, it exists. But now, I discovered that it need to be run as root.
So,
# /usr/lib/subversion/hot-backup.py /usr/svnroot Backup-Subversion/
works ! :-)
The IndexError message wasn't really helpful. But with your command, I
got a "Permission denied" which helped me.

I'm not fluent in python but I suggest subversion developers to add this
small piece of code to hot-backup.py :
import posix
if posix.getuid() != 0:
        print "Need to be run as root"
        posix._exit(1)

Thank you,
