RE: Subversion backup

Clearcase backups are broken. You have to lock Clearcase to prevent the
backup from being corrupted. Bad design.

Subversion backups are superior. Subversion allows you to do a full,
complete, and safe backup of the repository without locking the
repository. You get full backups and users get full access to
Subversion 24 hours a day. Superior design.

Subject: Re: Subversion backup

there will be a proper communication well in advance will be sent to
development community mentioning the backup window with mentioning that
access to repository will be unavailable for any write / update
operation during backup so that they will also aware that daily backup
happene between specific time frame and no one will try to access svn
repo.

if i am taking daily full backup then that backup shud be full proof
including all the commit operation. in my daily full backup i dont want
any commit operation left unbackedup. if backup is getting started at
11.00 PM then all the commit operation till 10.59 PM shud be there in
backup with full data integrity.

this is what i want. because of this only i want to lock the repo. i red
the svbook but as per design as of now svn only gives file level locking
mechanism and not dir. level lock mechnaism so i cant use "svn lock" is
this correct???

as there is no any full proof lock mechanism on repo level , i dont have
other option but to stop the apache service to disable the svn URL
access.

please advice.

Regards

Irfan.
