I downloaded a backup from my site. I want to install it on a SVN server locally. When I use VisualSVN on Windows it says incorrect format. So I suppose the first questions is what kind of format is it?

   Hi David

   The backups that we create are tarred and gzipped versions of the output from an svn dump command. I suspect that VisualSVN expects the raw dump file rather than a zipped version of it.

   To unzip it, on Windows, use a program such as 7zip. (There's a few others around too)

   Once you have unzipped it, try importing it to VisualSVN again.
