Hi Dheeraj, Dump & load will only transfer the versioned data (FSFS database). Don't forget to also copy over: - hook scripts: OLDREPOS/hooks to NEWREPOS/hooks (it's best to review them at this point, to make sure they'll work on the new machine) - conf files: OLDREPOS/conf to NEWREPOS/conf (also, review them, and check the new default conf files to see if there are any interesting new options or comments) - locks: OLDREPOS/db/locks to NEWREPOS/db/locks (the locks that are kept in working copies, for which a token is held on the server -- be sure to do this during your maintenance window) If you've done a full dump and load onto the new machine (in a freshly created new repository), the repository UUID should be transferred as well, so normally your old working copies will keep working, and you won't get the E155000 error. Perhaps also take a look at this FAQ entry for some more details of the dump&load procedure: http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#dumpload -- Johan
