You can simply copy the folder containing the repositories (e.g. c:\repositories) to the new machine. That folder contains all the users (in the file htpasswd) and the access rights (authz).
Note: this is true if you’re using subversion authentication. I’m not sure if it’s the same when using windows authentication, but I guess it is, since there’s also a file named (authz-windows).
Detailed instructions:
- on the new server, install VisualSVN server
- during the installation, you are asked where the repositories should be put (the default is
c:\repositories) - once the server is installed, go to the old machine and open the
VisualSVN Server Manager - right-click the
VisualSVN Server (local)entry in the console and clickProperties - it the dialog you can find where the repositories are currently located
- copy everything contained in that folder to the new server’s repository folder (e.g.
c:\repositories) - maybe you’ll have to restart the server, but then everything should be up and running
