Re: Corruption

On 2, are you doing a complete svnadmin dump or doing the 'hot backup'
python script? If your not doing the 'hot backup' python script, you may
want to look into this and schedule it regularly during the day (ie. 12 and
12 or 12, 6, 12, and 6). With incremental dumps , you'll want to dump each
commit (in the post commit hook script). Combined the 'hot backup', you can
recover from any point.

As far as your repository, I have no idea how to recover without an
incremental dump from each commit. At this point, you may want get the last
full dump you have that works and have all the user commit everything from
they have in their working copies currently. Unfortunately everything is
lost from that point on till when the your repository crashed.
