Thank you for your reply Ryan,

The reason is, that we only have backups for network drives that are
provided by a dedicated server. So we cannot run svnserve on the host
prividing the shares and the hosts we can run svnserve cannot be
backup-ed.

The idea is to either run svnserve on one host and having it access a
repository on a network share, or to run svnserve with a repository on
the same host and replicate that to a share. We end up having a backuped
repository either way but which way is to be preferred?

Hence the question ...
