## Name

svnadmin hotcopy — Make a hot copy of a repository.

## Synopsis

`svnadmin hotcopy REPOS_PATH NEW_REPOS_PATH`

## Description

This subcommand makes a full “hot” backup of your repository, including all hooks, configuration files, and, of course, database files. If you pass the `--clean-logs` option, svnadmin will perform a hot copy of your repository, and then remove unused Berkeley DB logs from the original repository. You can run this command at any time and make a safe copy of the repository, regardless of whether other processes are using the repository.

## Options

    --clean-logs

| Warning
As described in the section called “Berkeley DB”, hot-copied Berkeley DB repositories are not portable across operating systems, nor will they work on machines with a different “endianness” than the machine where they were created.
