Thanks a lot for sharing your elaborate batch file! I was just copying
Carsten's command into the post-commit template to have it
available for later application when your mail came in. It will also
solve the backup problem I still had. This was not very pressuring
here as we are less interested in history but concurrent working
and the content of the working copies is backed up anyway
(without .svn folders), so it would always be possible to build a new
repos in the worst case. However, getting incremental dumps into
backups was something on my todo list.
I think for those of us not (too) familiar with *nix and its shell scripts
your batch offers a great starting point for Windows users quite
comparable to the *nix templates. I would suggest to include it
either as a [Windows] section in current templates or as separate
template for Windows hook files (e.g. post-commit.bat.tmpl)

That should be a post-commit with the line start [/MIN /B /LOW
etc.] wrapper.bat where wrapper.bat has the svnadmin commands
without "start", but the errorlevel stuff. However, as your script
writes a log file it might not be that necessary at all. I think I try
this nevertheless when I get my big HDD back so I can do the
trial&error locally.
Have a fine weekend!
