RE: CVS - Recovery of repository directory

[Alleman, Lowell]

I wrote up a quick little bash script that runs every hour (cron) which will
backup the whole repository (tar.gz) if any changes have been made during
the past hour.  (Our cvs repository is not frequently used.)  The script is
set to keep the last 5 or so copies, just in case I (or a coworker) do
something we regret.

You may want to think about implementing such a script or your system too.
If you'd like, I'll send you a copy of my hourly backup script.

Well, hope everything works out recovering your repository.
