💖 svn-hot-backup(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, so this is svn-hot-backup, a lil command from the General Commands Manual (section 1, the "you can literally just run this" section), and it's about to save your whole entire Subversion life, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

svn-hot-backup — do a "hot" backup of a Berkeley DB repository. that's it, that's the vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

svn-hot-backup [--archive-type=type] repos_path backup_dir

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the way that svn-hot-backup works is: it performs a "hot" backup of a Subversion BDB repository, and then — this is the iconic part — it cleans old logfiles once the backup finishes. like it does the thing AND it tidies up after itself. main character energy fr fr. 🧹✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --archive-type=gz — makes a compressed archive of the backup in .tar.gz format. obsessed.
• --archive-type=bz2 — same deal, but you get a .tar.bz2 archive instead. slay.
• --archive-type=zip — and if you want a .zip archive, this is your girl. three flavours, pick your fighter. 🌈
• -h, --help — prints this help message and then dips (exits). 🫶

ngl, those three --archive-type values are exactly gz, bz2 and zip — nothing else, don't get creative bestie. 😭
