I have a backup, a mirror of an SVN server data area, containing a number of repositories. The server has been kaputt for several years, it was a CollabNet SVN Edge installation. In the distant past, I occasionally had to recover the repositories under new CollabNet installations. Simply moving the data directories into the proper space was adequate to move the repositories to new digs.

Question: Is there a reasonable path to access these data areas, without recreating a server? That is, could I use TortoiseSVN (for example) to access these repositories directly, without a server?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about using some tool. Such questions are on topic only if they cover how the tool integrates into some development *process* – after all, this site is about Software Engineering. See our [help/on-topic] for details.

Short answer

Yes, it is. If you really have repository tree inside backup, you can extract it to any location (on local drive) and access repository, using local TSVN and file:/// protocol
