Let's try to recreate your exact command (which, incidentally, would
have been appropriate to include in your original e-mail):
svnadmin hotcopy d:\Projects\Zed Axis Projects z:\Backup\Location
The problem here is that Windows assumes the first argument to hotcopy
ends at the first space, and so looks for a file that doesn't exist.
(Incidentally, if you tried a standard DOS command, such as "dir
d:\Projects\Zed Axis Projects", you'd get a very similar error.)
Windows allows spaces in filenames, but to get DOS to understand them,
you need to tell it that the filename is longer than it would otherwise
expect. So you need to put the paths in quotes--<svnadmin hotcopy
"[Current Repos Path]" "[Backup Repository Path]">, or, using the above:
svnadmin hotcopy "d:\Projects\Zed Axis Projects" "z:\Backup\Location"
This is a Windows "feature".
