Moving the svn repository along with trac from one server to another

I inherited the svn repository along with trac system. They were held on Ubuntu. The authorisation was held by subversion.

I have to make them run under VisualSVN with Windows authentication. What steps I should take to move them slightly and without major problems?

I'd like to keep:

You have to use svnadmin dump

Subversion provides such functionality by way of repository dump streams. A repository dump stream (often referred to as a “dump file” when stored as a file on disk) is a portable, flat file format that describes the various revisions in your repository—what was changed, by whom, when, and so on. This dump stream is the primary mechanism used to marshal versioned history—in whole or in part, with or without modification—between repositories. And Subversion provides the tools necessary for creating and loading these dump streams: the svnadmin dump and svnadmin load subcommands, respectively, and the svnrdump program.

And for Trac, you'd better have to use sqlite (or it gets trickier) and trac-admin would do it.

Note: Automatic backup of environments that don't use SQLite as database backend is not supported at this time. As a workaround, we recommend that you stop the server, copy the environment directory, and make a backup of the database using whatever mechanism is provided by the database system.
