Hi Looking at my shiny new gitorious I try to figure out what I'd do if it crashed and burned. Searching google didn't help a lot, gitorious in combination with any "backup" or "restore" word only returns gitorious-hosted projects for that purpose..
What I want to know: How do you backup the whole stack? I could easily drop nightly pulls for each repository on a tape. I could easily backup the database the same way. But - is that enough? And how would I reconstruct the environment? The repositories have cryptic (hashed) names. The database has overlaps with the filesystem (it contains the ssh keys, but what happens if the git user's authenticated_keys2 is empty because I just set the machine up again?) where I can see potential problems. I wouldn't know how to import source and wiki content back into gitorious, without a lot of struggle and cursing. Did anyone something like that before? Is there a guide out there, that I missed? Any scripts, experiences, ideas? I'd hope that the gitorious.org service has something like this in place. How is it done?
