You've got the wrong tool for the job. Subversion's disconnected data
model means that you double the local storage requirements. So this will
fail unless you guarantee that the drive is less than 50% full and you
are willing to devote a one half of the drive to Subversion. That's not
realistic for most situations, and not economical for the limited
feature set that you'd like to use.

There are plenty of good backup solutions available. They solve a
different problem than version control.
