Hi all,
following the instructions given at
http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/en/user-guide/centralized_workflow.html,
I have created a shared repository on the server with
bzr init-repo --no-trees bzr+ssh://my.server.name.uk/Users/bzr/documents
Here is my question: what is the safe and recommded method to make
backups of this repository? Can I just take a file copy of the
subdirectory (i.e. tar it up and store it somewhere)? Or should I be
more careful (for svn one can use the hot-backup.py script, or dumpy
the data base into a text file, but a direct copy of the file systems
is not recommenden [in case somebody in committing as you copy the
files]).
Any advice (or pointers to the documentation [which I have searched
before]) would be welcome.
Many thanks,
Hans
