I wrote a backup-script,
which starts from a cronjob.

The script use the "hotcopy"-Function from SVN.
It makes every day a Hotcopy from a folder,
but not more than seven backups are on the system.

And the Subversion-System is backuped with bacula!

This is the script:
---
#!/bin/sh

REPO_PATH=/var/lib/svn
REPOS=`ls ${REPO_PATH}`
BACKUP_DIR=/var/lib/backup/svn
BACKUP_SCRIPT=/usr/bin/svnadmin
ARGUMENT=hotcopy
DATUM=`date +"-%Y-%m-%d_%A"`

echo Repositories to Backup : ${REPOS}
for i in ${REPOS}
do
 echo Doing: ${BACKUP_SCRIPT} ${ARGUMENT} ${REPO_PATH}/$i 
${BACKUP_DIR}/$i$DATUM ${BACKUP_SCRIPT} ${ARGUMENT} ${REPO_PATH}/$i 
${BACKUP_DIR}/$i$DATUM
done

find ${BACKUP_DIR} -maxdepth 1 -mtime +5 | xargs rm -rf
---

And this is the cronjob:
---
0 4 * * * /sbin/backup-svn.sh > /dev/null
---

 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Same here, as this don't take to much time and place ( repos are quite small )
