Hello all, I am a rather experienced developer and I’m currently trying to use SVN to back up a batch of files automatically every X hours. The problem is that some of the files are open and the commit fails entirely. I have managed to invoke a non-persistent Shadow Copy over the volume but since I am not using a windows server but windows 7 the shadow copy is read-only. (I am using the vscsc.exe variant of the Shadow Copy SDK from Microsoft).
Everything would work just fine if this Shadow Copy was write-enabled because the .svn folder files cannot be edited and because so the script (running "svn add" or "svn commit") cannot complete. Has anyone tried this scenario before? If so is there any way to invoke a simple "svn commit" over open files (using shadow copy or not) on an non-server based operating system? Thank you for any thoughts, Fernando M. A. Gomes
