How to take backup and restore svn repository

Step 1 

Create Dump from SVN repo

svnadmin dump /pathname/repo > /backup/svn/repo.dump

Compress backup svn to Gzip

For this we can compress the backup to and save disk size

svnadmin dump /pathname/repo | gzip -9 > /backup/svn/repo.dump.gz

Step 2

Restore Backup to repo

Create new repository with below command

svnadmin create /pathname/reponew

Now restore the dump to new repo

Before doing restore we need to unzip the dumb backup

gunzip /backup/svn/repo.dump.gz

svnadmin load /pathname/reponew < /backup/svn/repo.dumb

That’s all ……………….
