If you are able to create and expose a shadow copy, why not copy the
files to some different, writable volume and use svn from there?
diskshadow is able to automate such a process and while it is not
included in Windows 7, copied from a server it should run just fine. I
used it some time ago to restore shadow copies, I think.

In general, because of timestamps, ACLs, ADS etc. of NTFS files, I
wouldn't recommend using SVN as a general backup tool. Windows backup
is a goot tool and can be automated using wbadmin, too.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
