Backup tool that enhances the trac-admin hotcopy utility

Description

This plugin is a script that provides some additional functionality around TracAdmin's hotcopy function. The script supports archiving the backup in gzip, bzip2 or zip format and can be configured to retain a specified number of past backups. Ideal for use as a cron job.

The script is derived from the 'hot-backup.py' script included in the Subversion distribution, which provides similar functionality around Subversion's hotcopy utility. 

USAGE: trac-hot-backup.py [OPTIONS] PROJECT_PATH BACKUP_PATH

Create a backup of the project at PROJECT_PATH in a subdirectory of
the BACKUP_PATH location, named with the backup date and time.

Options:
  --archive-type=FMT Create an archive of the backup. FMT can be one of:
                       bz2 : Creates a bzip2 compressed tar file.
                       gz  : Creates a gzip compressed tar file.
                       zip : Creates a compressed zip file.
  --num-backups=N    Number of prior backups to keep around (0 to keep all).
  --help      -h     Print this help message and exit.

Examples:

  1. Back up the project at /var/trac/myproj to /nfs/backup/trac/myproj-YYYY-mm-dd-HHMM: 
trac-hot-backup.py /var/trac/myproj /nfs/backup/trac
  1. Back up the project at /var/trac/myproj to /nfs/backup/trac/myproj-YYYY-mm-dd-HHMM.tar.gz and delete all but the 7 most recent backups, including the one just created: 
trac-hot-backup.py --archive-type=gz --num-backups=7 /var/trac/myproj /nfs/backup/trac
