If you are absolutely sure nothing is acessing that repository you can
simply copy it.

svnadmin dump/load is used when the bdb schema changes, and that
shouldn't happen until svn 2.0. Until then, svnadmin hotcopy is faster
since it just copies the files and does some additional checks in case
the repository is in use but, if it's not, copying is ok.
