If the repository is completely off-line, then sure, rsync, or just
plain old 'cp' will work fine.

If the repository is on-line, then yes, you need to follow the
hot-backup.py algorithm: copy the repository, *re*copy the logfiles,
run recovery.

On svn.collab.net, we have a cron job which hot-backups the
repository, then rsyncs the copy to another machine that gets regular
backups.
