If you had to jump through all those hoops, it wouldn't very well be a
"hot" backup, now would it? :-)

First, it's 'svnadmin hotcopy'. But what you should expect to happen
in this situation is that the hotcopy will create a copy of your
repository that contains all the revisions that were completed before
the hotcopy was begun. Operation of the repos, even with respect to
commits- and updates-in-progress, should not be affected during the
hotcopy.
