Thanks, after doing even more reading, I did actually try the dump. It
seems to have worked just fine. (except for the following error using
cvsweb)
An Exception Has Occurred
Python Traceback

While reading the subv. book, it said there are some gotchas to doing the
dump vs. the hotcopy (i.e. hooks, $repo/conf/* files etc won't get backed
up) is there any other reason that a hotcopy would be any better than a
dump? I'm not worried about file sizes or time constraints, I just want
to ensure that when i move my repositories they are in the same shape as
before I moved them.
Thanks again.
