I don't know what xcopy is, but you should be very concerned about
getting a complete and always up-to-date backup. It will be very
inconvenient for you if you ever find that you need to restore from
backup, but your backup is not completely up-to-date. There are many
backup strategies that will guarantee an up-to-date backup so you
should choose one of them.

Yes, with "svnadmin lstxns" and "svnadmin rmtxns"
