hi,

I want to automatize the backup of my databases and files with cron. Should I add the following lines to crontab ?

mysqldump -u root -pPASSWORD database_name | gzip > /home/backup/database_`date +\%m-\%d-\%Y`.sql.gz

svn commit -m "Committing the working copy containing the database dump"

1) First of all, is this a good approach?
2) It is not clear how to specify the repository and the working copy with svn.
3) How can I run svn only when the mysqldump is done and not before ? Avoiding conflicts

Any other tip ? thanks
