Thanks, I have just done the tar-ing of the different repositories in /var/lib/svn. There are 11 of them. When I tar the directories doesn't then the Linux permissions also get copied into the tar file? I use sudo tar -czf svn_reponame.tgz /var/lib/svn/reponame to do this from a rescue terminal on the not quite dead server. Then I have copied these tgz files over to a USB thumb drive too. They are a total of 5.4 GB in size. Where are the svn configurations saved such that I can apply these as well when I eventually re-install subversion? Basically, what settings do I need to find and back up so I can restore the exact same server after Ubuntu has been re-installed? I am not really used to Linux, the settings for different programs seem to be stored in such diverse places.... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
