What is a DUMP file?

DUMP files have multiple uses, and SVN Dump Format is one of them. Read more about the other uses further down the page.

SVN Dump Format File

These files are utilized by Apache Subversion (SVN), a version control system, to hold the contents of a repository. SVN is an useful tool that helps developers monitor and manage modifications done to source code and other documents through time. It is regularly used in software development initiatives to allow various coders to work on one codebase and work together on modifications.

A dump is a snapshot taken of your repository with an SVN command-line tool or other utility. It includes all versioned files, directories, author data, timestamps, and commit messages.

DUMP files are useful for making copies of a repository, transferring repositories from one place to another (e.g. local server to remote server), and transitioning from one version control system to another. They can be used to bring a repository back to a certain point in time or combine several repositories together into one.
