Looking for easy way to mirror subversion repository
I did some google searches and the only thing I've found so far is a
perl module. If I have to write perl to get this, I'll do it, but
I find it hard to believe that I'm the first person wanting this.
Basic reason: our repos are important enough that I'd like to mirror
them on a pretty regular basis (every hour or so) to minimize data loss
in the event of a catastrophic failure. Yes, I make backups every 8
hours. Yes, the repos are on mirrored drives. This is yet another
layer I'd like to add to our disaster preparation stuff.
It'd be nice if there were a program out there that could simply sync
up two repositories across a network.
Suggestions?

svnsync is definitely the way to go.
An aside on backsups, though. You would be wise to make dumps of your
svn repos and rely on those for backup. In the course of the
repository itself getting backed up it can become out of sync as it
gets committed to.

Thanks Garrett. That server is currently 1.3, but svnsync is a good
reason to plan an upgrade!

If you've upgraded your server to Subversion 1.4 you can use svnsync:
