Free SVN backup tool
-
I had some spare time last night, and decided to write (yet another) small SVN backup tool that we now use to backup our software. I thought it might be useful to other micro ISV's out there, so decided to make it available to the public: SvnEzBackup[^] (Please forgive me the lame name. I didn't bother with writing a UI or an installer for it. One thing I should do is include a tool to create the event log that it logs too, but at the moment laziness prevails).

Write an article! Get points! Seriously, make an article of it or post a link in the free tools page.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

Did I mention yet I was lazy? Blog post on my blog: 10 minutes Article: need to go through the whole article/review process and whatever (haven't written a codeproject article in years though, so maybe it isn't as bad as I'm imagining).

Nice! What I would love, since my SVN repository is on my server, which is effectively my backup machine, is what I'll call a "reverse backup" - a workstation applet that FTP's regularly to the server and downloads the SVN backup that has been made. I just haven't looked hard enough for automated FTP downloads, but it has to be smart enough to get the most recent zip file. Marc

Sounds like a generic ftp sync. A quick google found me this: Auto ftp v2[^]. Sometimes I use beyond compare to do a ftp synch (manually), but I just noticed in the help file that it also has some scripting support (it has a "synch" command for instance). This might be exactly what you need (never tried this myself though).

This borders on advertising/marketing/SPAM, but I'll let you slide. I second the request or an article. :thumbsup:

It's painless. You write the article, we give it a thumbs up. You're done. You can even edit the article whenever you want - no more "locked and edited" articles. We've even revamped the entire submission wizard, AND we have auto-save in case things go pear shaped. Article! Article! Article!

It is, but I get paid with article requests. :((

Looks cool. How about writing a Code Project article about it ;)

It comes to something when a file-management system needs third parties to write back-up programs for it.
