While debugging these kinds of problems I'd suggest not turning echo off.
Also, it can sometimes be simpler to turn the whole batch into a single
compound command and redirect its output once, i.e.:
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Log=c:\svn_repository\svn-backup.log
ECHO ON
(
echo !date! !time!
echo User=!UserName!
echo Path=!path!
c:\python25\python.exe
c:\svn_repository\hot-backup.py --archive-type=zip
echo/errorlevel = !errorlevel!
c:\svn_repository\myrepository c:\svn-backup
echo/errorlevel = !errorlevel!
) 1>>%Log% 2>>&1
The setlocal command and using "!" instead of "%" is required to avoid
problems discussed at length elsethread. You might also consider explicitly
setting the default directory, as this may not be the same when the batch is
run as a scheduled task. To set it to where the batch file is located:
pushd "%~dp0"
If you want the batch file and its log file to be in the same location and
with the same base name, I'd suggest this:
set Log="%~dpn0.log"
Finally, is this: "c:\svn_repository\myrepository" a batch file or an
executable? I generally recommend specifying the file type as .exe, .cmd, or
..bat to avoid any ambiguity.
