svn - backing up subversion repositories -


centos 5.3 subversion 1.4.2

i forgot add. total repository size 5gb, grow on time.

we have our source code , documents on our internal server running centos 5.3 , using subversion 1.4.2.

we looking backup strategy. want perform daily backups. have 30 repositories backup of differing sizes.

i create script file , recursively backup using svnadmin dump.

however, looking automated backup system run nightly 12am each day.

does know of backup systems open-source? think company reluctant pay system.

many advice,

there more open source solutions name, application choice rsync , cron job.

here overview of open source options (some more desktop oriented).

edit

the nice thing rsync, can directly sync folder storing repo. downside of approach sync corrupt repository. doing dump , storing incremental backups protect this.

despite recommended above, personal preference avoid subversion altogether. dvcs git or mercurial, ever developer's has full working copy of repository can used restore copy on shared server.
