If you need to wipe all traces for some objects in your svn repository, you can do something like this:
# svnadmin dump REPOS_PATH | svndumpfilter \
<include|exclude> $string | \
svnadmin load REPOS_PATH_NEW
# mv REPOS_PATH REPOS_PATH_backup && REPOS_PATH_NEW \
REPOS_PATH
Today I discovered ‘ntfsclone’ which is included in debian in the ‘ntfsprogs’ package.
For example if you wonna try to backup your ‘/dev/hda3′ to a remote host:
foobar:~ # ntfsclone –save-image –output - /edv/hda3 | \
ssh $remotehost ‘( cat > xp.img )’
remotehost:~ # cat xp.img | ssh $foobar \
‘(ntfsclone –restore-image –overwrite /dev/hda3 - )’
Maybe you you also will have a look into ‘ntfsresize’! ;-)
