Don't want to beat my own drum, but this ( http://svn.spears.at/ ) howto
gives you a VBScript that creates incremental dumps of specified
repository. You can then backup the folder containing these dumps. To load
the dumps in one go will take a small exercise in (insert your favourite)
shell scripting.
