We will have multiple repositories on this server. Will you please mail me the steps for taking backup of my SVN Repositories? Can we schedule backup of SVN repositories? If, then please send me the steps for that also. I am planning to schedule the backup of my SVN Repository and i will try to restore it on dummy SVN Server. As it will be work as a production server we need to set the backup and restore policy for the same. I am new in linux so if you can help me out to explain it in step by step it would be really helpful for me :) Thanks in Advance Regards, Mahesh Hi,

TRAC looks cool, but I don't really want to throw Yet Another Piece Of Software into the mix at the moment... Jeff – we’re already using Mantis and Maven on projects, with WebSVN on some.

At least everything <em>appears</em> to be working - files get copied as expected. Now you've got me worried a bit. The pages you listed mention errors and failures, which don't appear to be affecting me.

If you are backing up flat file data then you can avoid this. Darcy, to ease your worry, I believe the problem appears when using the ‘-E’ flag to copy the metadata.
