Thanks David,
I tried the svndumpfilter with exclude command. Example: svndumpfilter exclude \database\E_Learning\Development\Project1 < repo.dump > filteredDump.dump It takes 1-2 hours. But after that repo.dump and filteredDump.dump have the same size. Both shows 86 GB. It will be great if can help me on this. I agree with you on testing advice first before implementing it. But sometimes even genius do silly mistakes.

If your server is out of space you will likely run into issues though because the act of loading needs to be performed into a new repository which will result in you (temporarily) increasing your disk usage before you can remove the old repository. Anyway the process would be something like: # create the target repository svnadmin create /path/to/new-repository # dump the old repository, filter OUT the paths you want excluded & load them to the new repo svnadmin dump /path/to/old-repository | \ svndumpfilter --drop-empty-revs --renumber-revs exclude \ Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_1 Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_2 | \ svnadmin load /path/to/new-repository Obviously YMMV and you should always test any advice provided on an open mailing list prior to applying to a production environment.

Now our server is out of space and we decide to permanently remove few projects from server. We will keep these project in DVDs. I searched for this on web but not able to found any fruitful answer. I tried svn dump and svndumpfilter. Please help me with how I can permanently remove directory from server. I don't want to keep any revision or history of those directories. These directories have multiple level of sub-directories and files. I want to remove all. Folder structure: Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_1 Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_2 Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_3 Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_4 Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_5 Database/E_Learning/Development/Project_6 I want to delete Project 1 and 2.
