Backing up a repository using SVNKit

[Mark Hewitt-3]

Are there any examples of SVNKit classes that can provide backup and restore features for a repository?
In scripting, I find that "svnadmin hotcopy" works for me, but this does not seem to have a representation in the SVNKit interfaces.
I do see SVNAdminClient.doDump() which could be what I should use, but it is certainly not as simple !

Hello Mark,

You may backup your repository by making a dump file (svnadmin dump)
that can be loaded to a pristine repository (svnadmin load).
With SVNAdminClient it is analogous to using doDump() and doLoad()
methods. Their parameters are just the same as those of svnadmin util.

doDump(File repositoryRoot, OutputStream dumpStream, SVNRevision
startRevision, SVNRevision endRevision, boolean isIncremental, boolean
useDeltas)

in doDump you specify a source repository root (repositoryRoot)?
dumpStream (where the source repository will be dumped),
[startRevision, endRevision] - is a revision range to dump
isIncremental and useDeltas - are similar to svnadmin dump's
--incremental and --deltas switches.

When you got your dumpStream, you should pass it as input stream to

doLoad(File repositoryRoot, InputStream dumpStream, boolean
usePreCommitHook, boolean usePostCommitHook, SVNUUIDAction uuidAction,
String parentDir)

where repositoryRoot is the root of a pristine repository,
usePreCommitHook is similar to svnadmin load's --use-pre-commit-hook switch
usePostCommitHook - to svnadmin load's --use-post-commit-hook switch
uuidAction - to svnadmin load's --ignore-uuid switch
parentDir -  to svnadmin load's --parebt-dir switch
