Thanks to all responders for quick reply. I still have a related question. svn has a hotcopy command to ensure integrity so that it is possible to backup without shutting down the svn server. If someone update the .git while I am performing backup using tar or rsync? Will the atomicity of that commit still preserve in my backup copy? regards,
