An offline backup is simply a copy of the repository, if you can ensure noone is accessing it. You can take it "offline" stopping the server. You can use any file copy utility to make a backup. What you call an "online backup" is a replica actually, not a backup. An "online backup" would be a coherent snapshot of the repository in a given point in time - backups aren't modified once made, usually. I do not know if there is a safe way to make an online backup. AFAIK there are some tools to replicate repositories - don't know if there are free ones. Be aware that an unreliable replication is worse than no replication at all - I'd look for a good solution, not just a free one. -- LDS
