I'm wondering if I have all bases covered, so how do you backup your repos?

I have the following batch script running on a scheduled task, which creates a 7-zip file like this:

Looking for any input - thanks a lot! :)


@echo off
echo Backing up SVN... do NOT close!
echo.
echo.
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set bdate=%%c-%%a-%%b)
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=/:" %%a in ('time /t') do (set btime=%%a-%%b)
cd %temp%
rd /s /q svnbackup >nul 2>&1
md svnbackup
cd svnbackup
md certs
md conf
net stop VisualSVNServer >nul 2>&1
svnadmin dump --deltas --quiet S:/Customers > Customers.dump
svnadmin dump --deltas --quiet S:/Internal > Internal.dump
net start VisualSVNServer >nul 2>&1
for %%I in (S:\authz S:\authz-windows S:\htpasswd C:\INTERNAL\SVN\Backup.bat) do copy %%I . >nul
copy "%VISUALSVN_SERVER%\certs\*" certs >nul
copy "%VISUALSVN_SERVER%\conf\*" conf >nul
"%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -mx9 %bdate%_%btime%.7z *
move *.7z C:\Users\DB\Dropbox\Backups\SVN >nul
cd ..
rd /s /q svnbackup >nul 2>&1
[/CODE]

Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but thanks for the effort, and welcome to Neowin! :)

I just use a scheduled svnsync to back mine up to another computer.

Thanks Don. The only off-site service I have to backup to though is Dropbox.

Just use svnsync to copy the files to your dropbox folder. Or have your script place your 7z files in the dropbox folder - and then dropbox will sync them to the cloud and there you go a backup and DR all at the same time.

The latter of your ideas is exactly what's going on right now ;)

move *.7z C:\Users\DB\Dropbox\Backups\SVN &gt;nul

Tell me though, when I was deciding which route to go down, it was a choice between hotcopy and dump, since these create a backup file. From a quick scan of Google, svnsync creates a replica. Which is easier to restore? Just got a VM installed to test out a restore using the file the batch script above makes... when I get a chance.

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.2.3 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.2.3 changelog: All GPUs: Fixed hardware rescan issue when cleaning all GPUs without restarting or shutting down UI: Added Guru3D mention in the About section. General: Various fixes and enhancements.

    • That would be nice, if excel could refresh pivot tables without bugs. Frequently you refresh a pivot and all parameters get lost. Now this will happen automatically. Bravo MS!
    • If one could ever put all the crap of the world in one box, that would be Microsoft.
    • The most corrupt and vile CEO any company ever had ! The only company that makes an insane amount of money decade after decade but doesn't deliver on even barely passable quality to customers, screws over partners and treats employees like trash
