[Cvsnt] does a repository work on network drive? (to be continued...)

[Jonathan Keller]

I had a similar situation, where my CVS server was not backed up
reliably.  I used the following batch script, launched by Windows AT to
compress and copy the repository to another machine that was backed up.
Unless your repository is really large, this should work.

The zipping utility here is the WinZip command line agent and
cvsdirs.txt is a list of my repository roots.

cd /d F:\
"C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZZIP.exe" -u -ex -Pr cvsexport.zip @cvsdirs.txt
copy cvsexport.zip \\XXX-OTHERMACHINENAME\SHARENAME\Directory\

Hope this is useful.
