Taped backup of hotcopied repository

Can anyone tell me if a taped backup of a hotcopied repository is safe?

We have an IT taped backup of a directory which has repositories
hotcopied into.

My concern was that if the hotcopy was being performed at the same time
as the taped backup, then the taped backup could catch the directory
half was through the hotcopy.

Cheers

Thanks Bert.

We have looked into using mod_sspi.
For a few reasons we decided not to:

In an experiment we had trouble with a combination of this and securing
with
ssl. 
I guess that this could be resolved with some effort.
We hope to secure with ssl in the future.

Our usernames are not very readable (just numbers here :-)

It is complicated by the fact that the server sits behind a firewall
that cannot contact the domain controller.

	Hi,

Looking at your log it looks like you run apache on a Windows server.

Have you looked into setting up mod_sspi in Apache?

This would allow your Windows users to authenticate via their normal domain
login credentials instead of by typing their password every time.

I assume the password store is the reason why you don't want to have your
users save their password. 


For the details on why TortoiseSVN sends multiple requests, you should ask
on the TortoiseSVN user list. 
(It could be that TortoiseSVN performs multiple subversion commands before
the dialog is fully populated).

Thanks,
	Bert

A taped hotcopy is "safe" if you copy to tape after the hotcopy has 
completed.  If they occur at the same time, who knows.

The hotcopy is a full working repository so could check its integrity by 
running "svnadmin verify" against it.

Right, that won't guarantee a safe backup.
