# Script to create rotating hotcopy backups of all SVN repositories to a SMB share.

# Exit if any command returns a non-true value
set -e
#set -o errexit

# Paths, no trailing slash required
SHARE_PATH=//server/share
BACKUP_PATH=/mnt/svn-backup
SVN_REPOS_PATH=/svn/repositories

# Mount the backup directory
if [ $(mount | grep -c $BACKUP_PATH) -eq 0 ] ; then
smbmount $SHARE_PATH $BACKUP_PATH -o user=username,pass=password,dom=DOMAIN || exit 1
echo “$BACKUP_PATH is now mounted”
else
echo “$BACKUP_PATH already mounted”
fi

# Perform backup using svn hotcopy backup script
for repostobackup in `ls -d $SVN_REPOS_PATH/*/` ; do
filename=`basename “${repostobackup}”`
if [ ! "$filename" = "" ] ; then
svn-hot-backup –archive-type=bz2 –num-backups=1 $SVN_REPOS_PATH/”${filename}” $BACKUP_PATH
fi
done

# Un-mount the backup directory
smbumount $BACKUP_PATH
if [ $(mount | grep -c $BACKUP_PATH) -eq 0 ] ; then
echo “$BACKUP_PATH is no longer mounted”
else
echo “$BACKUP_PATH is still mounted”
fi

should be “-”"-”archive-type=bz2

best,

Sean

i found an error in the script you provided:

this line: hot-backup.py –archive-type=bz2
should be: hot-backup.py –archive-type=bz2

and it will work good

thank you very much for all the help! this is a very good script!

btw, anyone can maybe add to the script how to upload those files through ftp?

thanks

Sean.

i am getting below the error.

Berkeley DB error for filesystem E:/SubversionRepository/db while opening ‘nodes’ table:No such file or directory.

How to fix this.please help me.

Thanks,
Velmurugan.

I am backing up My SVN Repo through SAMBA Share and using my Tape Driver which is connected to my windows.

I never checked the “Reliability ” of backup still.

Is that will work ..

/svn/demo1
/svn/demo2

When run the following script I get the following output:

demo1 demo2
: No such file or directory

Here is Script:

mkdir /backups/repos -p
for repostobackup in ‘ls /svn/’ ; do
filename=basename ${repostobackup}
hot-backup.py –archive-type=bz2 /svn/${filename} /backups/repos
done

Do I need to make any changes to the hot-backup.py? Or anything wrong with script?

I tried to run the backup script and getting the following error ‘No such file or directory’. Can you please tell me what is wrong with the script? I have the hot-backup.py in the path.

Output for :./svn_backup.sh
demo1 demo2
: No such file or directory

Script (svn_backup.sh):

mkdir /backups/repos -p
for repostobackup in ‘ls /svn/’ ; do
filename=basename ${repostobackup}
hot-backup.py –archive-type=bz2 /svn/${filename} /backups/repos
done
