This shows the beginning of loading a repository from a backup file (made, of course, with svnadmin dump):
$ svnadmin load /var/svn/restored < repos-backup
<<< Started new txn, based on original revision 1
* adding path : test ... done.
* adding path : test/a ... done.
…
Or if you want to load into a subdirectory:
$ svnadmin load --parent-dir new/subdir/for/project \
/var/svn/restored < repos-backup
<<< Started new txn, based on original revision 1
* adding path : test ... done.
* adding path : test/a ... done.
