RE: svn recovery help

Hi,

Our current backup process is doing a SVN HOTCOPY every night to a
backup location on a different box. Upto
Can I somehow recover from that backup and retain all revision history?
Or do I need to use the svn dump/load?

Thanks,

Have look looked at the svnbook? It has some detail on the recovery
process. There's a trivial way to simulate a repository crash,
though: pretend the machine is completely gone. Now, where are your
backups? Bring them somewhere you can work, and see if you can get to
the point of checking out from them. (After all, that's your use-case
for even having backups, right?)

Specifics depend on how you did the backups in the first place. One
useful "cheat" is that you might be able to ignore the access control
part of the equation and just use file://// to access your restored
copy - but if your goal is to show that you could recover full access,
you need to configure everything...
