You certainly can.
If you know that the same software versions will definitely be installed
when the time comes to restore, you can just copy the repository files.
However, it's difficult to guarantee that for any length of time,
so you'd be better off "dumping" your repository to a file, and
holding onto that dump file until you want to restore it.
That way, you can restore it to an entirely different machine
with a different back-end storage!
