I need to get a backup dump of a large (~8gb) svn repository. My current method involves using svnadmin dump
to a file and then using 7-Zip to compress and split the file.
> svnadmin dump c:\path\to\myrepo > c:\svndump.svn
> 7z svndump.svn svndump.7z // or whatever the correct syntax is
I was wondering if there would be a way to skip the middle-man here, and get the svn dump data to be compressed in one go by using pipes or something? Is this possible? What would the syntax be?
