svnadmin pack vs hotcopy --incremental

I have an FSFS repository that is backed up nightly with svnadmin hotcopy --incremental. It has just crossed the 80000 revisions mark, and it has never been packed. I would like to run svnadmin pack on this repo.

After I run svandmin pack, will the incremental hotcopy still work? Will the hotcopy mirror the packing in the backup copy of the repo? Or do I need to do a full hotcopy after packing the live repo?

If I schedule svnadmin pack to happen at regular intervals (e.g. weekly), how should I change my nightly backup strategy?

I just want to make sure I do this right so I don't corrupt anything.

For reference, this is a Windows server, running SVN 1.8.8, and the repo is at FSFS version 5.

Sincerely,

Myron A. Semack
