Is 'hotcopy' enough for SVN backups or should I worry about full and incremental dumps?

Tags:

For my personal stuff I just use the svnadmin hotcopy command once a week but for more mission critical repositories that include many developers, is that enough? Or should I spend the time to put together a more rigorous backup strategy that includes full backups and incremental backups?

hotcopy seems like the easiest way to go, but I want to be able to restore a repo if, for some reason, it becomes corrupted. Will just doing a dump via hotcopy allow me to do this?
