hi,
I want to automate the backup of my databases and files with cron. Should I add the following lines to crontab ?
mysqldump -u root -pPASSWORD database_name | gzip > /home/backup/database_`date +\%m-\%d-\%Y`.sql.gz
svn commit -m "Committing the working copy containing the database dump"
First of all, is this a good approach?
It is not clear how to specify the repository and the working copy with svn?
How can I run svn only when the mysqldump is done and not before ? Avoiding conflicts
