once you have done with above tutorial and committed your files to the repository, execute below command.

If your TortoiseSVN repository is not called 'TortoiseRepository' just change the name above to whatever you have called it. If the dump works you should see lots of '*Dumped revision' messages. The 'dumpfile' now contains an entire export of your TortoiseSVN repository and all the revisions, comments etc.
