+= Backup tool that enhances the trac-admin hotcopy utility =
+
+== Description ==
+
+Script that provides some additional tooling around TracAdmin's hotcopy function.  The script supports archiving the backup in gzip, bzip2, or zip format and can be configured to retain a specified number of past backups.  Ideal for use as a cron job.
+
+The script is derived from the 'hot-backup.py' script included in the Subversion distribution which provides similar tooling around Subversion's hotcopy utility.
+
+{{{
+USAGE: trac-hot-backup.py [OPTIONS] PROJECT_PATH BACKUP_PATH
+
+Create a backup of the project at PROJECT_PATH in a subdirectory of
+the BACKUP_PATH location, named with the backup date and time.
+
+Options:
+  --archive-type=FMT Create an archive of the backup. FMT can be one of:
+                       bz2 : Creates a bzip2 compressed tar file.
+                       gz  : Creates a gzip compressed tar file.
+                       zip : Creates a compressed zip file.
+  --num-backups=N    Number of prior backups to keep around (0 to keep all).
+  --help      -h     Print this help message and exit.
