If you use Alis method, it should be something like:
SET seconds=%TIME:~6.2%

What about the seconds? I mean, how can I do if I want to get the seconds too?

Nice work, that’s just what I was looking for :)

I use %date% and %time% instead
SET month=%DATE:~4,2%
SET day=%DATE:~7,2%
SET year=%DATE:~-4%
SET hour=%TIME:~0,2%
SET minute=%TIME:~3,2%

You can try the svn-backup-dumps in the subversion-tools package. I run it like this to get deltas from a repository for use with rsnapshot:


svn-backup-dumps -z -q --deltas -c 1000 /var/svn_repository .

Im running a Ubuntu installation at home with a Subversion repository but without any relevant data, but your question is interesting. After some searching, i found this script that I will try to implement sometime.

Nice tool, gives some piece of mind. Would you have a Linux shell script version too?
