We should think about making local copies of the repo to avoid this kind of problems.
A regular Rsync with the repo should be fine. Somebody has an available machine for that?
Backing up a subversion repo using rsync is not fine. If the rsync occurs concurrently with a commit, the produced backup can have inconsistent, corrupt data.
The correct way of backing up a svn repo is using "svnadmin dump", or other similar tools that are aware of svn transactions.
I've looked at svnadmin dump and it seems that there is an option for incremental dumping of revisions. The problem is that I'm not sure project administrators have the right to run svnadmin on savannah.
Do we have other options to be sure to have regular backups of the repository?
