Actually I wish to hotcopy "from" a network drive with the subversion
repository, as a way to backup it. Assuming that there are users
concurrently using the repository, my question is if I could run this
command from another computer through a network share, or if it could be run
only locally on the computer that servers the repository.
I don't know much about the BDB, but what I read about it in the svn
book, I think that if this command does not create any db lock, just copies
the files in a specific order, maybe there would be no problem. Or maybe
there is... because of the file locking being different in the network
share?
Thanks,
Rodrigo.
