I do this using a good ol' shell script: ============= [build@ul020-dmz build]# cat /root/backup_cvs_repository.sh #!/bin/bash cd /root tar -zcf nightly_cvs_backup.tar.gz /cvs mv nightly_cvs_backup.tar.gz /home/tom chown tom:users /home/tom/nightly_cvs_backup.tar.gz [build@ul020-dmz build]# =============
And then the tar ball gets put on a tape. This works fine for a medium-size repo - about 800MB of Java and whatnot - tars to about 200 MB.
