The command svnadmin dump myrepos will write to stdout, and with "> dumpfile" you are redirecting it into a file.
If space on that machine is scarce, you could run from another machine ssh svnserver "svnadmin dump myrepos" >dumpfile and receive the dumpfile on the another machine. Many more patterns are possible.

The current repo used 350GB space and there about 140GB free space at the same location. Question: svnadmin dump myrepos > dumpfile Where the dumpfile will be and how much space it may take?
