Question

I am working with a svn server from time to time, I update my local version of the code and then I checkin the changes to my svn server, this is for safety reasons I don’t want to keep the code only on my machine in case I lose my machine.

I don’t have access to the svn server where I am getting code from, so I cannot make any modifications on that.

How can I automate the process to regularly(maybe scheduled) make updates from the svn server to my svn server?
I guess the only way is to have my server a scheduled task to get the code from that svn server? What I would like is to also send an email when the code was updated on my server.

On the long-term, can you see any issues with that?

Thanks!

Short version of answer

Use svnsync on the side of your repo (another version is manual or third version is HowTo)

send an email when the code was updated on my server

It’s hand-made post-commit hook or svn-notify|Subversion Notify
