Learning is an Art

As always Google silently launched new version of its one of most popular application that is Orkut, I don’t exactly when it was made available as I noticed it couple of days back.
I thought to give it a try and realized that the features added are heavily inspired from Facebook, its quite apparent that Orkut was seem to be loosing to Facebook on many aspect so redoing the Orkut was always on the cards and they have done a fare job but still I haven’t found many people using the newer versions and you can not use newer features like commenting which is one of the most used features of Facebook unless other person is also on newer version.
Lets see what strategy is used by Google to move to people to newer version. One thing I liked and appreciate about changes done by Google is that you always have option to hop between versions very unlike Facebook which shifted me to lite version without my knowledge and only switched back after a month or so.

Here I am going to talk about three useful and handy subcommands  of svnadmin that will help us in dumping our data and restoring it back to fresh repository, restore is very critical, as we keep on backing up data but we seldom bother about restoring it to check if everything is working fine or not. I would like to put one point across that your backup is as good as your last restore.

Dumping the repository

This is the simplest option for dumping the repository for purpose of backing up your repository. If you want to do an incremental back than you need to specify –incremental flag and give start and end revision for same.

Restoring the repository back

Verify the restore

Habit of restoring the data regularly is very important for having usable backup.
