Yup. And that is where Blair got misdirected :-)

Just copy off the BerkeleyDB 'log' files, and you're totally set. Those can
be used to rebuild the entire database (through what tool, I dunno). As a
new log file becomes "complete" (detected via db_archive?), then you *move*
it outta your repository and to your backup area (the repos doesn't need it
any more, so it can be moved/deleted).

Really... Berkeley DB probably has instructions for all this.

[ I still support the notion of layering backup solutions on top of SVN
  itself, but I don't consider it entirely SVN's problem ]
