Where are files stored?
Please forgive a total newbie question.
When I setup a new repository and import a project into it, where are the
files stored?
I have two servers. One is backed up regularly and one has Subversion on
it. I want the files to be stored on the backed up server (running win2k3
server btw) but I want subversion running on the not-backed up server.
(Actually, it's not my choice but that's another story).
Am I asking for trouble? Suggestions???
Thanks in advance...

Yes (is, I think, the answer)
On your desktop machine, you have a working folder (just like with VSS)
and you commit changes to the central repository (a folder up on the
server). The important thing to backup is that central repository folder.

When you say "files", you mean the source code files, right? If I am
reading this right, SVN stores the files in a database (much like VSS does).

The files are stored in the repository, which is somewhere on the
Subversion server by default. You might want to consider one of the
following:
-- Use svnadmin to create regular backups of the repository on the
backup server (could be automated).
-- Place the repository on the backup server and then have the
subversion server access it over the network. I've never tried this
and frankly don't think it's a good idea; others may wish to chime in
on this. Network connections are more prone to failure than local
disks, and you don't want the server messed up mid-way through a commit.
-- Get the subversion server to be part of the regular backup scheme
(I would recommend this).

They're stored in the location where you told svnadmin create to put
them. If you ran "svnadmin create c:\repository" then the files are
stored in an FSFS format (by default, in SVN 1.2 and later) database
in c:\repository.
