Is it possible to do SVN Backup using Backup tools since use SVN dump
By Marcia Rocha - July 16, 20155 Answers

Hello

 

We have Subversion 1.8 (installed at linux centos).

We do backup using Backup tools that do backup from all filesystem. If we have problems, we can restore from backup just directories relatred to a defined repository that had problems.

 

It is a bad solution? If yes, why?

 

Should we use svn dump or we could keep doing backup using our method?

best regards

SVN branching strategy question
By Ajay Kanse - December 15, 20132 Answers

This is regarding SVN branching strategy- What is harm in deleting trunk and copying branch to trunk to reflect production code which was delivered from Branch.

It is known that history on trunk will be lost however history on the repository still exist and any file at any revision can be recovered. So what would be issues with deleting trunk and recreating trunk from branch.

What is the best alternative to Rational ClearCase- SVN or Perforce?
By fred.vergenz - August 29, 20122 Answers

The cost of Rational ClearCase licensing combined with the complexities of UCM and MultiSite have forced us to look at alternative tools. We have five locations over 3 continents with a mix of UCM, base ClearCase, and MultiSite implementations. Through discussions with CM folks at our sibling subsidiary companies we have narrowed the options to SVN or Perforce.

Could somebody please give their opinions on how these tools stack up against ClearCase?

Need advice migrating from Visual SVN to Clearcase
By scott123 - December 23, 20109 Answers

We currently have code in VisualSVN and now we are planning to use ClearCase 7.1 as source repository.

I have the requirement to move all the versions in VisualSVN to ClearCase. We do not want to loose any old versions in visualSVN.

Can this be acheived? Please let me know if this is possible, if so let me know the tools or the procedure for migration.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott.
