Dear SVN community, I have a few questions regarding backup and restore of a SVN Server:
1. I would like to create daily backups to a cloud service using duplicity(basically full/incremental tars). Now I can do this (a) with a simple filesystem
backup or (b) create dumps using svnadmin dump and backup them using duplicity. -> (a) is not safe in case someone does a commit during the backup? -> (b) would take much more time (we have many, sometimes big, repos), so it might not finish over night? -> which one is better? Or is there a (c)?2. I think I shall use --force-uuid when replaying the dumps (in case of (b))
so that colleagues can just "svn relocate" and continue working?3. Are there limitations on what "svn relocate" can handle? Do I need to test
some corner cases? (Both servers are using svn+ssh:// but with totally different paths and different auth)4. Are there best practices / blogs for migrating svn repos to another server?
Many Thanks in Advance and Best Regards!
