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, configura- tion files, and, of course, database files. If you pass the clean-logs option, svnadmin will perform a hotcopy of your repository, and then remove unused Berkeley DB logs from the ori- ginal repository. You can run this command at any time and make a safe copy of the reposit- ory, regardless of whether other processes are using the repository. Options clean-logs As described in the section called “Berkeley DB”, hot-copied Berkeley DB reposit- ories are not portable across operating systems, nor will they work on machines with a different “endianness” than the machine where they were created.

Synopsis svnadmin list-dblogs REPOS_PATH Description Berkeley DB creates logs of all changes to the repository, which allow it to recover in the face of catastrophe. Unless you enable DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE, the log files accumulate, although most are no longer used and can be deleted to reclaim disk space.

In addition, if repos/conf/passwd does not exist, it will create a default password file . Synopsis svnadmin recover REPOS_PATH Description Run this command if you get an error indicating that your repository needs to be recovered. Options wait Examples Recover a hung repository: $ svnadmin recover /usr/local/svn/repos/ Repository lock acquired. Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time Recovery completed. The latest repos revision is 34. Recovering the database requires an exclusive lock on the repository. (This is a “database lock”; see The three meanings of “lock”.) If another process is accessing the repository, then svnadmin recover will error: $ svnadmin recover /usr/local/svn/repos svn: Failed to get exclusive repository access; perhaps another process such as httpd, svnserve or svn has it open? $ The wait option, however, will cause svnadmin recover to wait indefinitely for other pro- cesses to disconnect: $ svnadmin recover /usr/local/svn/repos wait Waiting on repository lock; perhaps another process has it open? ### time goes by… Repository lock acquired. Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time Recovery completed. The latest repos revision is 34.
