...so I want to back up my Subversion repository and I know how to do that using svnadmin dump
.
My question is, what is the best way to verify integrity of the dump files?
I figure I'll use them to restore to a mirror server... but then I'm not sure how to compare the original server with the mirror server.
I guess, the only more or less reliable way will be restoring it from a backup and running svnadmin verify on it. Additionally, you can embed latest revision number to the backup file name (kinda
svn-2009-10-15-r6584.bak
) and then check whether the latest revision in the backed up repo is indeed r6584.
