Digging around, reading lots of books on it, I'm still getting
conflicting stories on Subversion repository backup.

If we're using the FSFS respository, doing system image backups late
at night when no check-ins are in progress, do I really need to do
some kind of special repository backup?

Well, trying to count on the fact that people probably aren't working at
that time of night is not a good policy.  However with FSFS backing up
the files naively is safe even if there's a commit in progress.

Is that because of the transactional nature of the commit?

In the future please send questions that are purely SVN-related to the
SVN mailing list.

Yes, blush, my fault. ;-)

But to make it Trac-related, what about backing up the SQLite-based Trac data? Is that also safe to backup as an image, even if Trac project changes are being made, because SQLite is in theory ACID?

Cheers!
