Subversion – Recursive call for backup scripts

Here’s a solution how to call the backup scripts from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.4.x/www/tools_contrib.html#server_side:

# Full backup - not good if you have a Berkeley DB upgrade...
find /srv/svn/repos/ -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec python hot-backup.py {} /srv/svn/backup/ --archive-type=bz2 \;
# Dumped and bzipped
find /srv/svn/repos/ -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec python svn-backup-dumps.py -b -o {} /srv/svn/backup/  \;

Just two examples. Check the options of the scripts, the dumpscript even allows you to backup to smb shares.
