Tortoise SVN: How to export & import a repo

this is the first time I use Tortoise svn. I actually, couldn't completely understand the sense behind the snv.

I tried check out of full repository from an svn server, but it couldn't be comleted without errors. I think it's because of slow local network we use. It last very long... So I want to copy "the repo" into a USB disk and paste that repo into my computer. I asked IT if this is possible, and I was answered that no! I a little bit googled and found something like "export svn".

My main question is that: Is it possible to export a repo from server, and import into my computer without need of using network.

My second question is that: If it is possible, how? I don't want full details, I need only some keywords.

Short answer: yes, if you have physical access to the server. Then you can export the repository to a USB drive without any network access. But normally, this wont be the case.

svn export basically just download the files from the server. In difference to svn checkout it does not create a working copy.
