We think that BDB is very robust. We have been running subversion with 
it for a few years now and the database is already at 60Gbytes with no 
problems whatsoever that we couldn't handle. No data was ever lost.

I will note, however, that BDB has "many buttons" that need to be 
pressed to be fine tuned and become trustworthy.
