You can use the script SVNmirror which I imagine you can find with
google.

Or you can do for yourself something similar to what it does (IIRC):

"svnadmin dump" new revision(s) on A since last update.
scp the dump file to B.
"svnadmin load" the dump file on B, which load just the new revisions.

The dump command would look something like:

svnadmin dump /repo/path -r <rev_range> --incremental >dumpfile

You can use rsync to get the initial copy onto B and for updating B
after your sync process goes wrong (bugs, network issues, etc.).
