Name

svnadmin hotcopy — Make a hot copy of a repository.

Synopsis

svnadmin hotcopy REPOS_PATH NEW_REPOS_PATH

Description

This subcommand makes a full hot backup of your repository, including all hooks, configuration files, and, of course, database files. If you pass the --clean-logs option, svnadmin will perform a hot copy of your repository and will then remove unused Berkeley DB logs from the original repository. You can run this command at any time and make a safe copy of the repository, regardless of whether other processes are using the repository.

Options

--clean-logs

Warning

As described in Berkeley DB, hot-copied Berkeley DB repositories are not portable across operating systems, nor will they work on machines with a different endianness than the machine where they were created.
