I think tar will do basically what you want: # backup: $ cd /usr/local/cvsroot ; # or wherever your repository is $ tar zcvf ~/module_2002-09-23.tgz module # restore $ cd /usr/local/cvsroot ; # or wherever your repository is $ tar zxvf ~/module_2002-09-23.tgz Note, however, that generally you shouldn't have to do this. The point of CVS is to allow you to rollback your code to the old version/timestamp by using "cvs update [-r|-D]". Using manual timestamped backups as your rollback procedure pretty much obviates the use of CVS in the first place. In that case, simply tell your developers that "our CM process is tar". But hey, you could have a great project logo... _)_ .-'(/ '-. / ` \ / - - \ (` a a `) \ ^ / '.
