Following this as a guide: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33055/what-is-the-best-way-to-backup-subversion-repositories
I've tried the following commmands:
svnadmin hotcopy "C:\Repositories" > "C:\BackupSVN"
svnadmin hotcopy "C:\Repositories\*" > "C:\BackupSVN"
svnadmin hotcopy "C:\Repositories\TestRepo1" > "C:\BackupSVN"
However all 3 commands result in "Access is denied"
I've tried them at an "Administrator" command prompt as well, still the same error.
SO:
How can I properly run an svnadmin hotcopy command (or even svnadmin dump) on a Windows 2012 server? What am I missing?

Grrr...I figured it out. Stupid default UAC on Windows 2012.
