Probably a more efficient way to do that is to Export the working copy
you need for backup. The difference between Checkout and Export is the
existance of the .svn folders. (Export just gets a copy of the
repository, and is not treated like a working copy after that).

Seriously though, if you are backing up the server (you are backing up
the server, right?), backing up portions of the files you have on your
machine is a bit redundant. Backing up the server is as simple as
issuing the "svnadmin dump" command and saving the results to a file.
Restoring is as simple as issuing the "svnadmin load" command and you
have your repository along with every revision in its history (comments
and all).
