How to backup SVN repository?


I often hear that having an SVN repository doesn't cancel need for backups.

How is such backup done? I mean the repository will inflate over time, won't it? So do I back it up as a whole every time or what do I do?

What's the easiest way to do such backups?


Solution

  • I've used svnadmin with hotcopy.

    svnadmin hotcopy repopath backupdestination
    

    You can also use the svnadmin dump command.
