Hi
When I create a backup of a rather large repo (output ZIP over 2GB), hot-backup
blows up with this error message:
Archiving backup to 'd:\SubVersion\Backups\bin\bin-14671.zip'...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\hot-backup.py", line 319, in

raise LargeZipFile("Zipfile size would require ZIP64 extensions")
zipfile.LargeZipFile: Zipfile size would require ZIP64 extensions
I can make it work by passing an extra parameter to the ZipFile constructor to
enable ZIP64 mode -- is turning on ZIP64 something that could be made an option
in hot-backup? Google turns up a few scattered reports of this problem, so I
can't be the only one trying to zip up large repository backups.
thanks
