Hello Valeriana, > I was looking for a command to lock access to visualsvn while I'm doing a > hotcopy or dump on windows 7?
`svnadmin hotcopy` and `svnadmin dump` does not require you to lock a repository, in other words you can run these commands on live repository. Why do you want to lock a repository when dumping it or making a hotcopy? Subversion 1.8 introduced `svnadmin freeze` command that prevents commit for the time when some 3-rd party applications or scripts perform maintenance tasks. The command helps to ensure repository consistency if you use external backup tool (such as `rsync`). See Subversion 1.8 Release Notes at http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#svnadmin-freeze Hope it helps!
