Moving svn repository from one drive to another on windows server
Have my svn on windows server with apache and being accessed via HTTP
Apache config monitor states this
Apache/2.063(win32) SVN/1.5.1 mod_auth_sspi/1.0.4DAV/2
Currently my repo is on C:\svnrepo [this is a shared drive]
As space is becoming an issue, we have added an extra drive and would
like to move te above said to the new drive designated with label 'E:'
What are the steps to achieve this?
Thank You

There's no need to have sharing enabled if the external HD if it's
attached to the server. Or if you initiate the backup from the server
itself, "pushing" the data to the backup location instead of "pulling"
it over from another computer.
Are you running your server off desktop hardware? I almost never hear
of "external" HDs attached to actual servers.

Dear Andy,
The folder is shared for a backup process that just copied the folder to
an external HD in addition to taking dumps and hotcopies
Also, accessing the repo using TortoiseSvn via Http only.
Thank You

Stop Apache.
Copy c:\svnrepo to e:\
Update your Apache config and any other files that have references to
c:\svnrepo to point to e:\svnrepo Start Apache
Curious as to what you mean by c:\svnrepo being a "shared drive". The C$
administrative shares should be disabled by default or at least tightly
restricted, and you shouldn't be accessing the repository over the
network using file:///.
Of course, make sure you have backups before doing any of this, and
you'll be trying it first on a test system, right?

Stop Apache.
Copy c:\svnrepo to e:\
Update your Apache config and any other files that have references to
c:\svnrepo to point to e:\svnrepo
Start Apache
Curious as to what you mean by c:\svnrepo being a "shared drive". The
C$ administrative shares should be disabled by default or at least
tightly restricted, and you shouldn't be accessing the repository over
the network using file:///.
Of course, make sure you have backups before doing any of this, and
you'll be trying it first on a test system, right?
