svnadmin dump on live repository

Hello,

I've been checking the book and the manual pages, but couldn't find this...

Is it safe to use 'svnadmin dump' on a live repository (it is served
through apache)?
Would it generate a consistent dump in the case the dump starts when a
transaction is in progress or when a transaction is started during the
dump? I won't expect (nor need) the dump to contain that transaction.

I'm currently considering this to make full backups in the evening.
Simply make a full dump into a file, gzip it and back it up to tape or
whatever our sysadmin decided to backup to.

Thanks,
Jan Evert
