I want to set up an automatic incremental backup of my SVN repositories. Doing that to a local folder of the same PC seems to work, but if I try to write the files directly to a shared folder (I tried 2 different QNAP NAS boxes) I get various errors, always a couple of hundred lines.

I tried

Code:
svnadmin hotcopy C:\SVNRepos\RalfStein \\Nas\home\svn\RalfStein

After 202 lines it returned
svnadmin: E720059: Can't move '\oldnas\home\svn\RalfStein\db\revprops\svn-1AA28066' to '\oldnas\home\svn\RalfStein\db\revprops\203': Unerwarteter Netzwerkfehler.

("Unerwarteter Netzwerkfehler" means "unexpected network error".)

On a different NAS it returned after 799 lines:

svnadmin: E720059: Can't close file '\nas\home\svn\RalfStein\db\revprops\svn-44790380': Unerwarteter Netzwerkfehler.

I've shut down the svn service, so there's no danger of someone working on svn in the meantime. Still the same problem.

I don't want to use "dump" as it's not incremental. I can manually copy the entire repository by using free network monitoring software and that seems to work. However, I'd like to understand where the problem is coming from.

System:

  • VisualSVN V4.3.6 on Windows10
  • SVNadmin --version: 1.14.1
  • The NAS (a QNAP TS453d) provides the SMB-share
