Yes - but don't know why you'd do the extra "copy" step. how long? -
try and we shall see!
Here's the online reference page for SVN admin hotcopy command.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.ref.svnadmin.c.hotcopy.html
This utility should be available on your linux svn installation also.
The command would look something more like this on linux:
svnadmin hotcopy $repo1 /tmp/mirror1
For configuring cron:
http://www.aota.net/Script_Installation_Tips/cronhelp.php3
Also, according to the website below: "The standard Subversion
installation also provides a Python script within the tools/backup
directory that can be scripted to run automatically (via cron for
example), rather than running 'svnadmin hotcopy' manually."
