I wanted to ask which is the fastest and painless way to backup a SVN repos without stopping the service. I've heard that people on the Internet do it using rsync, but I am not familiar yet with using this tool.
Rsync is only suitable if you take specific extra measures on the repository (locking, hotcopy) Start reading here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.backup Also note (as a general statement) that an rsync copy is just a copy, not a backup. A backup is something where you can not only restore one snapshot but all past states. Also something that is tested to work in the reverse. Andreas
