Re: Subversion as a backup tool

Leon:

Thank you for your response to my inquiry some weeks ago about a backup tool
using Subversion.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything in the subversion mailing list
archives on this topic. There is lots of stuff for 'backup' and 'restore'
but for securing the subversion repository itself, rather than backing up
stuff to subversion.

Do you recall anything specific about the project, such as the author's
name, or the project name?

Thanks
David Keeney
