We have recently migrated SVN Repository from Server A to Server B using the below steps.

  • Using svnrdump we have taken the backup.
svnrdump dump http://example.com/svn/repo1 > repo1.dump
  • And restored it using svnadmin load command like the following,
   svnadmin load /var/svn/repos/repo1 < repo1.dump

Problem:

  1. The backup was successful showing around 42000 revisions.
  2. When restored the dump, the restoration was successful showing only 38299 revisions. There is a difference of 3701 revisions.

How do we troubleshoot this issue further?

  • Did you check the command output whenever there were warnings or errors? That would be the first step.

  • Did you refer to the output of the backup? or the restoration?

  • Both would be important, the restoration probably more so.

  • The output of was quite large and I missed the initial part. Is there a way to redirect all the logs to a file? I tried something like the following but the file doesn't contain any details svnadmin load /var/svn/repos/repo1 < repo1.dump 2>&1 | tee /tmp/back_logs.txt

  • That should actually work, if it doesn't increase the console buffer size to fit (more) of the output.
