Hello Everyone , I did a rsync , but it looks like it is not working .
Below are the steps i followed for rsync *commands run on the new svn server(1.10)* svnadmin create /subversion/repos/idea chown -R apache /subversion/repos/idea rsync -a username@sourceserver:/subversion/repos/idea /subversion/repos/idea rsync worked , but when I logged into the websvn to check the revisions , it was not present in the new svn console . *data size on both the server is same after rsync* [root@old server repos]# du -sh idea 2.8G idea [root@new server repos]# du -sh idea 2.8G idea screenshot of idea repo in old svn server show it has 9754 rev [image: image.png] screenshot of idea repo in new svn server show 0 rev [image: image.png] Looks like i have to follow svm dump and load with incremental or svnsync for this migration. Let me try these steps and let you know.
