Off-Site Subversion Backups to Amazon S3

I just finished automating Subversion repository backups!

We use svnadmin dump on each repository, tar and bzip2 them, then shoot them off to Amazon’s very cool S3 service.

Marcel Molina’s for the aws-s3 gem that makes handling S3 very simple.

Thanks Marcel!
