Unlike 'svnadmin dump', hotcopy will happily back up a corrupt revision
and not tell you.  It's really just a clever filesystem backup with a
very careful time ordering of certain key files in case there is a
transaction in progress when it runs.  Having been bitten by this
myself[*], we now run svnadmin out of cron every night before we run our
hotcopy.  We also keep a week's worth of hotcopies, and I check my cron
emails every morning.
[*] fsfsverify.py is your friend

  OK, thanks:  I'll update our backup script!
