Svnadmin —incremental hotcopy (and other questions)

[Tom Browder]

When an incremental hotcopy runs on REPO to BACKUPREPO is BACKUPREPO then
always a full backup of REPO? That is, could I do a full dump of
BACKUPREPO and copy it somewhere else for safekeeping of the full, current
REPO?

Another question, is there any reason an incremental hotcopy could not be
used in a post commit hook?

Finally, now that version 1.10 is out, will the redbook be made current and
turned into a printed book?

Thanks so much for any help.

Best regards,

-Tom

It is a full backup up to whatever revision it now contains. Yes you could take dumps off the backup.

No reason. I think it would be a solid plan.

Finally, now that version 1.10 is out, will the redbook be made current and turned into a printed book?

The book is open source. It is kept somewhat current but it is a volunteer effort. I think it is extremely unlikely that O'Reilly would ever do another printing.

Hm, I wonder. I believe it’s been over 10 years since the second edition,
and lots of changes. Maybe worth asking O’Reilly?

Thanks, Mark.

The book is a separate project. You should ask them. Scroll down to "Feedback/Contributing" on this page:
