Re-2: "Malformed dumpfile header" after recovering a repository with incremetal backup

This is exactly what I did!!
A quotation of the Subversion manpages doesn't help me solving my problem.

It should.
I even marked the part (stdin) you missed.  :-)

The command you quoted

>>>svnadmin load ../svnrepos/Test Test-101-103.dmp

is not redirecting stdin from Test-101-103.dmp,
but uses it as a parameter.

try
   svnadmin load ../svnrepos/Test < Test-101-103.dmp
instead.

Carsten.

No, you didn't. You did:

> svnadmin load ../svnrepos/Test Test-101-103.dmp

which should have been:

$ svnadmin load < ../svnrepos/Test Test-101-103.dmp

Quoting the manpage does help: it says exactly what you need to do.


HTH,

bye,

Erik.
