I want use svnsync for create a back-up copy of my svn repository.
The svnsync command replicates all versioned files, and their attendant svn properties. It does not copy hooks or conf directories from the source repository, so I will need to do those manually.
I have wrote this batch script for create the backup repository:
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
:: create local backup project
svnadmin create C:\Repositories\Test
:: initialize local backup project with remote project
svnsync initialize https://local.com/svn/Test https://remote.com/svn/Test
:: get remote info project and store in info.txt
svn info https://remote.com/svn/Test>info.txt
:: get remote UUID project from info.txt
set UUID=
for /f "delims=" %%a in (info.txt) do (
set line=%%a
if "x!line:~0,17!"=="xRepository UUID: " (
set UUID=!line:~17!
)
)
:: set local UUID project with the remote UUID project
svnadmin setuuid C:\Repositories\Test %UUID%
:: sync local and remote project
svnsync sync https://local.com/svn/Test https://remote.com/svn/Test
endlocal
I have wrote this batch script for synchronize the backup repository with master repository (hourly schedule):
svnsync sync https://local.com/svn/Test https://remote.com/svn/Test
Say, if I set up a mirror svn repo via svnsync, and if my production svn server crashed, then how can i restore the production svn repo via the mirror? Is it possible?
Can someone suggest the best practice of backing up the production server using svnsync?
