Making copies of the working copy is easy, but you will need to
restore only your working files, not the SVN files. Probably best to
not copy the SVN files

SVK is a tool for using SVN as a distributed VCS, but I have not used
it, so I don't know how it works with TortoiseSVN.

If you opt to manually maintain a local copy of the repository, your
best option would be to have a seperate working copy for the local
repository that you use for your off-line development. When you are
ready to commit your local changes to the main repository, you export
your fist local commit since you last syncronized to your main working
copy, do the commit, then export the next local commit, and so on.
