Edited the original report to insert line breaks in repozo's output -- it's unintelligible otherwise.

Apologies if this is not correct place to raise this...
Also note that I am a newbie with plone/Zope/Python.

My problem 
========== 
My problem is that every time I run this utility, it seems to only generate a full backup. The command I used is:

"D:\tools\Plone 2\Python\python.exe" repozo.py -B -v -r "D:\tools\Plone 2\backup" -f "D:\tools\Plone 2\Data\var\Data.fs"

and it generates the following output:

looking for files b/w last full backup and 2004-12-02-10-19-10...
files needed to recover state as of 2004-12-02-10-19-10:
        D:\tools\Plone 2\backup\2004-12-02-10-05-48.fs
        D:\tools\Plone 2\backup\2004-12-02-10-05-48.dat
repository state: 2912712 bytes, md5: 2d261a92921e4b9066e3e6b053da3870
current state : 2912621 bytes, md5: 29bcfdad66343f2040beb6e96ae3d3a4
backed up state : 2912712 bytes, md5: 29bcfdad66343f2040beb6e96ae3d3a4
file shrunk, possibly because of a pack (full backup)
writing full backup: 2912621 bytes to D:\tools\Plone 2\backup\2004-12-02-10-19-10.fs

I also tried this out with the latest version of Zope I downloaded, and it does the same thing.

All the examples that I can find on the web for this script seems to be for Unix-like machines. Does this mean it only works on that environment?

Any ideas, comments and solutions will be gratefully recieved.
