SVN 1.6 move to another server

I am really new to SVN and need some inputs in migrating SVN server. At my work admin whoever set up SVN on server X left the company and currently we want to move the SVN repo from legacy server X to the new server Z and eventually want to decommission the applications. Since, we don't have any new enhancement we want to keep the existing SVN setup as it is to the new server. I have gone through old archives and have come with steps like taking dump and then export to the new server. Instead can I just rsync/copy the entirefiles from the old server to the new server? Will it work? Is there a way to avoid taking this 50GB data and then build app in the new server. Can someone please advice? Can someone please suggest.

It will work, the configs may need some tweaking. However this is a bad plan. svn 1.6 is very old.

You're on the path - export the repos from your old server... import them on the new with the latest version of svn. test it out. I should work... If not, fix it up and the swap the DNS entries when you're satisfied.
