== Introduction ==

This tutorial will show you how to export, migrate and move an existing subversion repository to a different server. It's really simple if you know how.


== Requirements ==

* Subversion installed on the current and new servers.
* Root access to both your current and new servers.

== Dump the repository on the current server ==

 svnadmin dump /path/to/repo > reponame.dump
 tar zcf reponame.tgz reponame.dump
 scp reponame.tgz root@newserver:/path/to/new

==  Setup the repository on the new server ==

 cd /path/to/new
 svnadmin create reponame
 tar zxf reponame.tgz
 svnadmin load reponame < reponame.dump

That's it. You can start using your newly migrated subversion repository right away.
