Re: How to backup all Repositories in a Directory?

Here's my shell script that does just what you want. It backs up all
repositories in your Subversion repository directory, puts on a
timestamp, and then deletes all repository backups older than seven
days.

#! /bin/bash

########################################################################
# CONSTANTS
#
REPOS_BASE="/subversion/repositories"
BACKUP_DIR="/subversion/backups"
SVNADMIN_CMD="/usr/bin/svnadmin"
#
########################################################################

########################################################################
# BACKUP EACH AND EVERY REPOSITORY VIA THE "HOTCOPY" COMMAND
#
for repository in $REPOS_BASE/*
do
    reposBase=`basename $repository`
    date_string=`date "+%F"`
    backupName="$BACKUP_DIR/$date_string--$reposBase"
    [ -d "$backupName" ] && rm -rf $backupName/*
    mkdir -p "$backupName"
    "$SVNADMIN_CMD" hotcopy "$repository" "$backupName"
done
#
########################################################################

########################################################################
# DELETE BACKUPS OLDER THAN 7 DAYS OLD
#
find $BACKUP_DIR -mtime +7 -delete
#
########################################################################
