Dear subversion community, as part of a daily backup process, I do "svnadmin dump"s, gzip them and create several encrypted backups of the "*.dump.gz". Now, the svn admin dump step (svnadmin dump -q ...) worked without errors (exit code 0 and no errors on stdout/stderr), and during the next step (encrypted backup) the VM crashed. When looking into the log, I see that there was an I/O error on the disk which is used by the VM. Now I now that the foo.dump.gz are correctly backed up, but are they consistent (i.e. not affected by the I/O error(s))? So the question is: Does "svnadmin dump" do some consistency checks (like svnadmin verify does)? Regarding "svnadmin verify path/on/server": Can I be sure that this does not modify the data? Or do I have to use "svnadmin load" (on another machine), does "load" do more consistency checks?
