If there is diskspace to have the copy on the same disk then one option is to the leave the slave online. When the svnsync finishes on the copy the slave will have up-to-date revprops. Then replace the slave repository with the copy repository but keep the revprops: - hotcopy the slave repository - do the rewind/backdate/recover/svnsync operation on the copy - stop apache - move copy repository's db/revprops/ away - move slave repository's db/revprops/ into copy repository - move slave repository away - move copy repository to replace slave repository - start apache The move operations are quick on the same disk, so the repository is only offline for a short period. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
