Backing up subversion repositories (From a windows subversion server)
2006-07-05 16:00:25
We are currently using amanda 2.4.5p1 to backup a mix of Unix + Linux hosts. Now, we need to backup HUGE (100 Gb) subversion repositories that reside on a Windows XP box.
From what I have read, the SMB client seems flaky.
I only have ONE big directory to backup from windows. My amanda tape server is a Linux Box.
Did anyone try to use the Windows Services For Unix from micro$oft ?
We plan to NFS export the directory and mount it on the amanda tape server and back it up from there.
Are we heading for a disater ?
What are our other alternatives ?
I suggested to move the subversion server from Windows to Linux, but the subversion admin is not compfortable enough with Linux to do the move.
Thanks
