The machine hosting our svn server failed. We were able to recover the C:\Repositories\ directory. How do we migrate this to a new host?

Just install svn as normal on the new server, copy the Repositories directory to the new server, and point svn at the directorys containing your repositorys.

  • This appears to have worked. But if this is so simple, why are the instructions for migrating when the source and target host are alive slightly more complicated? (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.migrate) –  Mar 04 '09 at 14:07

    Those instructions assume your backing up a live repository and want users to have access durring the backup. Your repository isn't live so you don't have to worry about users accessing it while backup/restore is taking place. – Jared Mar 04 '09 at 14:22
