Thanks,
I have just done the tar-ing of the different repositories in
/var/lib/svn. There are 11 of them. When I tar the directories doesn't
then the Linux permissions also get copied into the tar file?
I use
sudo tar -czf svn_reponame.tgz /var/lib/svn/reponame
to do this from a rescue terminal on the not quite dead server.
Then I have copied these tgz files over to a USB thumb drive too.
They are a total of 5.4 GB in size.

Where are the svn configurations saved such that I can apply these as
well when I eventually re-install subversion?
Basically, what settings do I need to find and back up so I can
restore the exact same server after Ubuntu has been re-installed?

I am not really used to Linux, the settings for different programs
seem to be stored in such diverse places....
