Just notice i didnt do any backup on my svn server. To ensure continuity, I need to teach my colig on how to backup the svn server. To make things more simple, i’ve written a script to backup my svn server everynight. But here, i’ll show u the basic of how to backup svn server.

To backup svn server, follow the steps below:

• First, login to your svn server
• Enter the command below to backup your svn repo:-
  
  svnadmin dump /path/to/reponame > /path/to/reponame.svndump

  1	svnadmin dump /path/to/reponame > /path/to/reponame.svndump

• If your svn repo is too large, you can use gzip to compress it during the backup. Try the command below:-
  
  svnadmin dump /path/to/reponame | gzip > reponame.svndump.gz

  1	svnadmin dump /path/to/reponame | gzip > reponame.svndump.gz

• To extract gzip file, use the command below:-
  
  gunzip reponame.svndump.gz

  1	gunzip reponame.svndump.gz
