How to copy Subversion repositories to another server

  1. Ensure you have a working Subversion installation with Apache installed on your system.
  2. On the source machine, dump each repository: 
    > svnadmin dump /path/to/repository > repository-name.dmp
  3. Copy repository-name.dmp to the target server.
  4. Load the repository into the new server: 
    > cd /path/to/new-repository
> svnadmin create repository-name
> svnadmin load repository-name < repository-name.dmp
  5. Reassign apache permissions: 
    > chown -R apache.apache repository-name
  6. You are now ready to begin using your repository on the new server!
