Yes, this is a good method that many people use. Note that there are several 
possibilities, from dumping the entire repository, to just dumping selected 
revisions, and either dumping each revision's contents in its entirety or 
incrementally using deltas.

 2)  Or else can I copy the entire repository from the SVN server( located 
 at D:\repositories\OR1221) and save it on other location. And after sometime 
 if I want the repository again then I will place it back to the SVN server.  
 So will it give the same results (i.e with complete revision).

Instead of copying the repository manually, you should use svnadmin hotcopy; 
it will do so in the correct order that will yield a consistent valid 
repository.

A third option is to use svnsync.

svnsync and using dump and load will not copy the repository configuration 
files or hook scripts or preserve locks. I believe a hotcopy will preserve 
those. You may want to test all three methods to see which is right for you.

Yes it will provided you are not changing architecture or OS of the server.

 Please resolve my query.
