It is intended for use in\ncron jobs and post-commit hooks.\n\nThe basic modes of operation are:\n\n• Create a full dump (revisions 0 to HEAD)\n\n• Create incremental dump containing at most N revisions.\n\n• Create incremental single-revision dumps (for use in post-commit).\n\nDumpfiles are named in the format basename.rev.svndmp or basename.rev.rev.svndmp, where base‐\nname is the repository directory name, and the rev arguments are the first and last revision\nnumbers represented in the dumpfile, zero-padded to 6 digits.\n\nOptionally, svn-backup-dumps can compress dumpfiles with gzip or bzip2, and can transfer them\nto another host using FTP or SMB (using smbclient).\n", "subsections": [] }, "OPTIONS": { "content": "", "subsections": [ { "name": "--version", "content": "Show program's version number and exit.\n", "long": "--version" }, { "name": "-h --help", "content": "Show this help message and exit.\n", "flag": "-h", "long": "--help" }, { "name": "-b", "content": "", "flag": "-b" }, { "name": "--deltas", "content": "This is passed through to svnadmin dump.\n", "long": "--deltas" }, { "name": "-c", "content": "Maximum number of revisions per dumpfile.\n", "flag": "-c" }, { "name": "-o", "content": "", "flag": "-o" }, { "name": "-O", "content": "", "flag": "-O" }, { "name": "-q", "content": "", "flag": "-q" }, { "name": "-r", "content": "", "flag": "-r" }, { "name": "-t", "content": "", "flag": "-t" }, { "name": "-t", "content": "Transfer dumps to another machine using the FTP or SMB protocols. path is where to\nstore the dumpfiles on the remote server; any occurrence of %r in the path is replaced\nby the repository name.
