How can I do daily backups for my VisualSVN Repos?
Its on a Windows Server 2003 machine, I was thinking about just doing an xcopy of the folder C:\Repo but I'm not familiar enough with svn to know if that will cause issues.
Save me SO!

A:
The proper approach is to use svnadmin hotcopy to create a copy of c:\Repo then archive that copy to tape or off-site storage or whatever. The Subversion Book's chapter on Repository Maintenance has more details.

So there is no way to automate it?

Your backup software may offer a way to run processes before it runs, or you can use Windows' Scheduled Tasks feature. Automating server maintenance is more of a topic for ServerFault than StackOverflow.
