If it is just a case of specifying exactly what is in the dump, ie. you want
to have every commit up to the point the backup starts and nothing after then
you can use the revision number in the dump command.
REV=`svnlook youngest /path/to/repository`
nice -n 5 svnadmin dump -r 0:$REV --delta /path/to/repository > dump
If commits occur in the time it is backing up they aren't in the dump file.
Then you have the option to include them by simply appending them
(--incremental option) or leave them out, your choice.
