How to make a backup of an SVN group of repositories
Hi.
Working with SVN v1.4.2, I'm trying to make a daily backup of my
'/home/svn-repositories' directory, where I've got 5 SVN repositories.
Shall I use 'svnadmin dump' or simply copy the file contents?
Thank you very much,
--Thomas

Thank you very much Andy.
There's a newest version of that chapter:

A simple copy may leave you with an unusable backup, as you may get a
partial transaction in your backup. Have a look at
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.backup
