I have SVN repo and I would like to make a local copy which would server as backup when server would go down and I need all the information from repo like commit comments.

It needs to be transferable to a new computer if needed.

I have found this solution to do the dump, but can I open it on Windows without SVN Server?

You would still need a server, but it can be a local one, like VISUALSVN Server.

Then, with svnadmin, you can extract your sump, and with TortoiseSVN, you can explore its content. All from your machine, without depending on a remote server.

  • That's what I am trying to avoid basically. Just to have some zipped file where I can go for commit comments history without going through all this trouble of local server etc. So such option is not possible? – sixplus4iszen Dec 09 '20 at 07:20
  • @Jakub Check if TortoieSVN can explore your extracted repository directly, but I doubt it. The idea of a *local* server is for you to not depend on anything remote. – VonC Dec 09 '20 at 07:25
