The machine hosting our svn server failed. We were able to recover the C:\Repositories\ directory. How do we migrate this to a new host?

A:
Just install svn as normal on the new server, copy the Repositories directory to the new server, and point svn at the directorys containing your repositorys.

This appears to have worked. But if this is so simple, why are the instructions for migrating when the source and target host are alive slightly more complicated? (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.migrate)

Also, I can not possibly thank you enough.

Those instructions assume your backing up a live repository and want users to have access durring the backup. Your repository isn't live so you don't have to worry about users accessing it while backup/restore is taking place.
