Moving a Subversion repository to another server

From Debian Wiki

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. |
