I have two cuestions in relation with this subject.
If I want to do security backups, what it's the right thing to do, make a
dumpfile or copy directly the svn repository?.
If I copy the svn repository and I restore one of that copies I can't go
back to a before revision, isn't?.
(Sorry for my bad english).
