I need to move a few very large repositories (one over 30 GB) to another server (both servers use SVN 1.4.0.) Server 1: FreeBSD 6.0 Server 2: Windows Server 2003 x64 Transfer method: NFS (Network File Share)
Are there any issues with just tarring up the repositories and transferring them over NFS to my destination server (assuming no one commits anything) then doing a setuuid and moving over the user database? Will this scenario work? 1. Tar repository (assume there are no commits during tar) 2. Transfer .tar to destination server 3. untar 4. transfer svn user database to destination (modify config files so svn knows path) 5. setuuid on repo Note: I am unable to use svnadmin dump or hotcopy (both error out.. which is why i'd like to pursue this). Thank you, I really appreciate it!
