You must not use the filesystem to copy a live repo unless the server
is stopped (this is true of any non-trivial database system!)
Svnadmin dump or a hotcopy will give you a consistent backup while
the server is operational.
Apart from the obvious consistency issue, copying using the
filesystem may also involve portability concerns. It's not really an
option at all.
