Moving SVN Repository to Another Oracle Enterprise Linux Server

In this article, I will mention about moving a subversion repository from one server to another. Actually, it is a backup and restore job by using svndump command.

• Backup your old Repository
  Firstly, backup your old repository by using below command.

svnadmin dump /path/to/repository > repo_name.svn_dump
The dump file contains all the revisions you have ever made to your svn repository.

• Create the new Repository
  Create new SVN server on a different server and create a new empty repository.

svnadmin create /path/to/repository

• Import your old repository into the new one
  Run below command:

svnadmin load /path/to/repository < repo_name.svn_dump
Now, out new SVN repository is ready on a different SVN server.
