trac automated backups...

[jayunit100@…]

I think that hotcopy should be bundled with an auto feature to automatically backup a project on a monthly or weekly basis.

I believe many people have probably written their own hacks to do this… If any one has one in Java, perl, or python please post it here.

I want to backup multiple projects, once a week. So the script needs to be dynamic enough to go to a trac root directory, backup every project into a new directory titled something like

backups/project1backup_03-01-2008/

etc.

I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with this idea… I hope we can get it working sometime. I will submit my hack solution eventually if nothing official comes out.

you only have to add a cronjob which starts the hotcopy command..

I don't think this is something we need to add to Trac's core. Perhaps adding a script to TracHacks might be an idea?

I have written an automated backup tool that dynamically finds all trac project directories and backs them up for windows server 2003 Id be willing to submit it.
