@Leap - incremental backup isn't implemented. Admittedly, that would be a nice feature (I believe "svnadmin dump" even has an incremental flag).

Thanks

@Leap I typically use Postfix. Check out: http://www.zulius.com/how-to/set-up-postfix-with-a-remote-smtp-relay-host/

It is working for the scp to remote server. thanks so much.
But the email is not working. do you have any detail instruction to configure email.

Thanks again

@Leap-

Sure an SCP command could easily be added to this script. If I were you, I'd add it to the "if gzip successful" code block at Line 344 (v0.0.7).

Since SCP uses SSH, another option would be to mount the remote filesystem using SSHFS (ie: /mnt/remoteserver). Once mounted, just set the "destDir" config option to the directory on the remote server (ie /mnt/remoteserver/path/to/destination/directory).

It is working. thanks for the script.
But i am also looking for a way to backup (scp) to remote server for offside. is there anyway we can add to the script?

Thanks
