Why not do this from a post-commit hook? That would reduce your exposure. Also note that there is a new --incremental option on svnadmin hotcopy. So the hook could even just do that. > * After completing the Monday night full backup, purge the previous > week's incrementals. > * After completing the Monday night full backup, run svnadmin pack Running pack would probably make the idea of continuing to use hotcopy not work right. > Will svnadmin pack have a significant impact on the incremental backup > I take the following day(s)? I'm guessing not because those are dumps > and not hotcopies, but want to be sure. I cannot see why it would impact a dump. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
