title: Moving a Subversion repository to another server
body: <p>I have a server that hosts my Subversion code base. That server is currently a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2003" rel="noreferrer">Windows Server 2003</a> box, and my IT administrator wants to update it to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2008" rel="noreferrer">Windows Server 2008</a>.</p>
  
  <p>This means that I'm going to need to move my Subversion repository while the server gets built up and was wondering what the best practices are for moving the repository to a new server.</p>
  
  <p>It seems like, looking online, the recommended way is to use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svnadmin dump /path/to/repository &gt; repository-name.dmp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svnadmin create repository-name
  svnadmin load repository-name&lt; repository-name.dmp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To import the repository.</p>
  
  <p>Does the method above seem like the best approach?</p>
