CentOS 5.3 subverion 1.4.2

I am using rsync to backup a repository every day at midnight. We have about 30 repositories some small and some large.

I am using crontab to schedule the job that will run the script file.

The script will have to recursively go through each directory:

repos/DEV/
         /repso1
         /repso2
     DOCS/
         /repso3
etc

On the target machine I want to create a new directory with the date the backup was done.

i.e.

backup/09OCT2010
      /10OCT2010
      /11OCT2010

So far I have been experimenting with this:

rsync -virza --backup --backup-dir=`date +%Y.%m.%d` dev@10.10.10.10:test_repos/* source/backup

However, this will only do a incremental backup of the files changed. However, I want to do a full-back up with a new directory of the date that the backup was run.

Many thanks for any advice,

You probably want rsnapshot. It doesn't name the directories by date, but it'll do everything else you're after.
