I am looking for an experienced SVN/Linux Administrator who can provide me with the correct commands and procedure for taking path-specific SVN dumps with history and restoring them on a new SVN server. Current Home Environment Existing SVN repository contains multiple TBs of data I do NOT want to dump the complete repository. I only need dumps for specific SVN paths. Required SVN history: January 2022 to present Example paths: /hongkong/EngineerTeam /hongkong/IOTdevelopment/models /hongkong/EngineerTeam/dev What I Need I need the freelancer to provide a tested and clearly explained procedure/commands for: Identifying the SVN repository and required revision range corresponding to January 2022 through the latest revision. Taking a dump of only the specified SVN paths, rather than dumping the entire multi-TB repository. Ensuring the dump contains the required SVN history for those paths. Handling SVN path history correctly if there are copies, moves or renames. Using appropriate SVN commands/tools such as: svnadmin dump svndumpfilter svnlook Other required SVN utilities Providing the commands to restore/load the generated dump into a new SVN repository on RHEL 9. Explaining the correct order of operations for multiple paths and repositories. Providing verification commands to confirm that: The dump was created successfully. The dump can be loaded. The selected paths are present after restoration. Historical revisions from January 2022 onward are available. svn log, checkout and update work correctly. Important!! I am not looking for someone to perform the migration or manage my servers.I only need someone with strong SVN experience to provide me with the correct commands, methodology and restoration procedure that I can execute myself. Because the source repository is several TB in size, the solution should avoid unnecessarily dumping the entire repository and should be suitable for a large production SVN environment. Deliverable A concise but complete document containing: Dump commands Path filtering commands, if required Revision/history handling Restore/load commands Required repository preparation commands Verification commands

Good morning! I'll document the exact svnadmin dump and svndumpfilter commands to extract only your specified paths such as hongkong/EngineerTeam and hongkong/IOTdevelopment/models, including revision mapping from January 2022 forward and correct handling of copies and renames. I'll also provide the svnadmin create and load steps for a new RHEL 9 repository plus verification commands using svnlook, svn log, checkout and update to confirm history integrity. Ready to start whenever you are.

I can provide a tested, clearly explained SVN procedure for path-specific dumps with full history and a safe restore into a new repository on RHEL 9. I have strong Linux system-administration and technical-writing experience, which lets me document the exact commands and the correct order of operations so you (or your admin) can run them without touching your multi-TB repository wholesale. My deliverable will cover: (1) locating the repository and pinning the revision range from January 2022 to the latest revision; (2) taking path-only dumps using svnadmin dump piped through svndumpfilter with --include for your specific paths such as /hongkong/EngineerTeam and /hongkong/IOTdevelopment/models, using --drop-empty-revs and --renumber-revs to keep history clean and correctly handling copies, moves and renames; (3) loading the filtered dump into a new repository on RHEL 9 with svnadmin load in the correct order for multiple paths and repositories; and (4) providing verification commands using svnlook and svn log to confirm the dump was created, loads cleanly, the selected paths are present, the January 2022 onward history is available, and checkout and update work. This is a documentation deliverable - I provide the tested commands and methodology, not the live migration of your servers. I will structure it step by step with expected outputs and troubleshooting notes, and adjust to your exact repository layout if you share the path list and revision details.
