You can maintain any number of copies of the server using svnsync. You can treat these as backups, or as read-only mirrors. Switching a mirror to be the master repository can be done with a few steps; it should be documented in the book somewhere.

I assume such a script exists, and that it preserves history. I'm not personally familiar with it.
