By a show of hands here how many of you have managed to do this?

ok here goes...How many of you have manged to delete the entire trunk out of SVN (from the server mind you not your local copy) by mistake? :sigh: Happened to me last night..i was just selecting some files that had to be taken off the server and didn't notice that the trunk folder was selected. Deleted the entire tree for my project 9 months of work. Was able to fix it and we only lost revision history between 10 versions. Am i the only idiot who managed to do this?

I've made many many mistakes but never that one. Cant you just revert the folder above trunk to the last good revision?
Yeah that is what we did in the end but it was a little tricky cos i managed to delete the entire folder from our repository server :( we did a check out of the last version before the delete exported the latest revision over that from my machine. Had to manually merge a few files mostly lost a days work. Could have been worse i guess

Errrr.. yeah backups! I once did a back up. Deleted stuff, but did a load more work. Realised I needed one of the deleted files. No Probs, it is here on this backup. So I put the backup disk in the machine and take a trip through time! Ok, copy the file I need and go to revert to where I was before a needed the file and realised that I had forgotten something rather important. I didn't do a backup of the stuff I had done since. How I laughed at my own stupidity (/sarcasm) TWO WHOLE DAYS I spent getting back to where I was.

Yeah we do have weekly backups but that would mean losing an entire weekends word :( that is why we did what we did and it worked cruise control and build automation working now good to see the green back in CCtray :)
What we do is have a daily backup (Monday - Friday). Within this we have four copies of Friday tapes/drives. This way we have a month's worth of Friday backups - and I can tell you this has really come in handy when someone notices they deleted something two weeks after the event (This has happened more times than I care to remember).
