Re: Restore SVN server from files

The backup transfer to a different machine did not worked, and I didn't
notice this. :(

Got it !
1) Install SVN on a new linux server
2) Configure SVN
3) Place the files recovered in the place where I defined repositories
home in the step 2
4) If I will change the server URL, I have to run svn relocate or svn
switch --relocate according to the version that I will have on the new
server.

MANY THANKS,
Alin
