SVN is a version control management software

Sometimes you may checkout from one location and want to checkin to another location, use svn switch command detailed here

Sometimes your SVN repository can be messed up, usually from somethign like running out of disk/memory and there will be lock files that prevent anyone from effectively using the repository. The best way to deal with this is shutdown apache (assuming you use apache to access your repo, shutdown anything else you have that accesses your repo) and running svnadmin recover /path/to/repository

Backing up SVN is relatively simple, use the svnadmin dump command
For example
svnadmin dump /svn/sourcecode | gzip -c > /bkup/svn/sourcecode.gz
To restore SVN is pretty easy as well
svnadmin create /svn/newsourcecode
gunzip -c /bkup/svn/sourcecode.gz | svnadmin load /svn/newsourcecode
