SVN Hosting

Keep your Subversion environment stable

All answers are based on our managed SVN platform running in Germany with daily backups, strong access controls and responsive support.

What is needed for SVN?

SVN is a version control system (VCS) and can manage files and directories as well as any related changes. It can manage all possible file types.
Subversion allows to restore any earlier version of a file or folder and track the changes.
Our SVN Cloud is centrally available over the Internet and can be read and / or written by any user with the appropriate permissions.

How can I create a local copy from svn repository?

The easiest way is to use a tool like Eclipse or TortoiseSVN, both available for Linux and Windows. By checking out, a copy of a repository is created on the local hard drive.

Directly on the Linux command line that goes like that:
svn checkout http://IhrBenutzerName@svnXYZ.saas-secure.com/svn/meinProjekt

How can I make a repository or parts of it accessible for others?

Depending on the management software (USVN, Redmine, Trac), there are different possibilities to assign permissions. You can manage access on group or user level.
To simplify things, make sure you are using SVN administrative roles or groups when drawing guidelines for your team.

You can use your own domain for SVN?

Yes, it is possible and easy with our customer center. Add Domain Alias in our customer center and your SVN is accessible by this domain.

How safe is my SVN at SaaS-Secure.com?

Daily backups make sure no data is lost even when hardware fails. Each SVN server runs in a separate container and is protected from unauthorized access.
