Thanks Stefan, Finally I am able to see the difference in size of filtered dump file.
You really helped me lot. Thanks again.

Assuming you are using <Location /svn>, it seems the name of your repository is 'database'. Dump files contain only paths which are *inside* the repository, i.e. paths shown by a command such as: svn ls http://delhicvs.ind.aptaracorp.com:8080/svn/database It seems E_Learning is a directory in the root directory of the repository, so filtering the dump file should probably look like this: svndumpfilter exclude /E_Learning/Development/Project1 < repo.dump > filteredDump.dump However, if you were using <Location /svn/database> or <Location /svn/database/E_Learning> the paths inside the dump file would be different. If you don't really understand how this all works, I suggest that you create a small repository to test with and try out some commands until you understand their behaviour, and then tackle the time intensive task of filtering large dump files. This section of the book might also be useful: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposad min.maint.filtering
