My windows server went haywire recently and I had to to an OS reinstallation, which resulted in losing my Visual SVN and all the repositories. (Don't remember the v-svn version I had) However, I have copied the "Repositories" folder to my local system a few while ago. My question is, Can I restore it to my new Visual SVN installation on the server? If yes, Is this the method? "Import Existing Repository" >> "Copy repository from another location". If yes, would it restore the previous users and authentications etc? Also, should I create a new repository before doing the above steps? If I'm doing this all wrong, please tell me how if it's possible.
**All the docs available are mentioning to use dump file. I don't have a dump file, only the folder backup.
Thanks
