How to move a repository from one server to another?

I'm a subversion newbie...

A team member (who is no longer here) had a repository installed on his
local machine. I want to move that repository that to a publicly accessible
server, and allow others to access it. The move should retain any history.
Also, I will want to rename the root folder on the new server.

Background: The server uses svnserve (not Apache) and all of the clients
will use either Tortoisesvn or the Eclipse plug-in. The repository is the
OS file system option.

Do I just:
a) Copy the repository directory (XCOPY) to the new server. Then do a
"switch" ??? on the client machines?

  or

b) Do an export then re-import?

   or

c) Your steps here...

I have tried a variation on "a" above and ran into problems where the client
complained that the file(s) were already linked to another repository, so I
must be doing something wrong.

Thanks
