What is a good and easy way to back up SVN repo to an FTP server?

I would like to backup my SVN repo using tar and ftp from cronjob once a day. This is pretty simple, but I would like to make sure that there is no commit transaction at the time of the backup, etc. Although there are times of the day / night when this is unlikely, I would prefer not to rely on it, because if I am already at night in some kind of crunch, the last thing I need is my SVN or my backups, damaged .

I am looking for a very simple but effective defense. This is normal if the SVN clients receive an error while performing the backup (this does not take much time). Should i use

  • something at the file system level
  • some hook svn script
  • something else completely

I started publishing this on serverfault, but then decided that it was a little closer to programming than sysadmin, especially if hooks were involved. Feel free to move it if you think otherwise.

The theoretical way to securely backup is to use the command svnadmin hotcopy( more details here ). Basically this is a copy of one repository (not a dump, copy), so it blocks all operations during this time.

This operation is pretty fast, so I don’t think that any client will have an error, they may experience some delay (depending on the load on the server, etc.).

script - Apache subversion.
