Whilst suffering a subversion server outage, it's made me wonder: we currently produce nightly backups of our repos via 'hotcopy' from the server's local drive to a network store.
If the server were to die, would I be able to take those copies and place them under a server on a new box *with a different OS*? Or would I have to create a temporary server with the original OS, copy them to that, and svndump them and import them elsewhere?
In this case, it's a Solaris server, dunno what processor [I'll check when it's back up!], and I'd consider moving it to an x86 Linux server.
