I have a fully updated Ubuntu Server 18 LTS sitting in my home LAN acting as a subversion backup server for my company via svnsync. It runs svn 1.9.7 as does the production server at the company.
So I have set it up with the same repositories as on the production server (which is on Windows Server) and set these as read-only for everyone except the svnsync user. They were locally populated via dump files moved from the company . I have a nightly task on the production server, which runs svnsync for each repository on it towards my backup server. This has worked fine for 18 months now. Now I would like to also use the Ubuntu server as a versioning server for my own programming, but I don't know if that will interfere with the backup server functionality my company depends on... If I create a "Private" repository on this server and store my projects in that repository, can it interfere with the backed up repos? AFAIK you cannot write anything in a synced repository except via svnsync or the backup system will break.... I am not very well informed about the inner workings of subversion to make it absolutely certain that no damage will happen... Best Regards, Bo Berglund
