Subversion backup is too large

Ronaldo Orbite July 24, 2013

When I tried to backup my subversion data on OnDamand Jira instance, the system generates a 38gb file. I tried to download the file twice but I coudn't. The connection dropped.

I accessed the '/webdav/backupmanager/' folder from a WebDav client, but didn't work.

Is there a way to generate the file splitted in 1 ou 2gb parts and put in '/webdav/backupmanager/' folder ?

Thanks!

Hi Ronaldo,

We have a built in timeout of 15 minutes in OnDemand, could you try performing the download using the follow wget command?

$ wget -t 0 --user="MYUSER" --password="MYPASS" https://example.atlassian.net/webdav/backupmanager/Application-backup-20130725.zip

It will automatically retry (and resume) the download if it gets interrupted. It looks like this is the simplest option we've seen so far to circumvent this problem, assuming your system has wget on it.

Hope it helps!

Regards,

Marlon
