Hello guys ,

i hope most of you have subversion installed and running , and you might have got chance        to  take backup of you subversion repositories.

i have created couple of scripts that can take mass backup of all repositores in your   subversion repositories parent directory also the other script restore all repositories , all you  need is to change path for backup place and your repositores folder and then enjoy while this script take backup of each repository automatically it saves a lot of time.

Download Both scripts :

Backup.sh

Restore.sh

Below is step by step procedure on how to use this script :

Please if you modify it don’t remove my name or links

Step 1 ) upload backup.sh to you subversion server ,

Step 2) configure backup.sh according to your server requirements

Step 3) modify permissions for script using :

chmod +x backup.sh

Step 4) start the backup using : (* you should have permissions to directories on server where your repo exists)

sh backup.sh

Step 5) check backup logs using :

tail -f  {logfilepathhere}

Step 6)  Now Backup completed so you can compress backups files using :

tar cfz subversion_backup.tar.gz /home/svn/backups/full

Step 7) Move backup to new server where you want to take your svn or to some safe place

Step Start the restore process & upload restore.sh

Step 9) config paths in restore.sh as in step 2

Step 10) change permission of it using :
