newbie: repository types and backup/restore
it seems to me that if i use FSFS instead of berkley, then it makes the
backup/restore process easier i think, correct? especially when running the
repos on different versions of SVN,

Since these are two of the design goals of FSFS, the answer to your
question is yes:
[extract from: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/fsfs ]
* Platform-independent
The format of an FSFS repository is platform-independent, whereas a
BDB repository will generally require recovery (or a dump and load)
before it can be accessed with a different operating system, hardware
platform, or BDB version.
* Standard backup software
An FSFS repository can be backed up with standard backup software.
Since old revision files don't change, incremental backups with
standard backup software are efficient. (See "Note: Backups" for
caveats.)
(BDB repositories can be backed up using "svnadmin hotcopy" and can be
backed up incrementally using "svnadmin dump". FSFS just makes it
easier.)
regards,
Lieven.
