Currently im setting up TortoiseSVN and reading through docs etc. The manual often mentions svnadmin. I figured out, that I have to download it seperatly. But the link seems to be old. After some browsing I got here. But I can't find a version 1.6.7, like my TortoiseSVN installation. Also I'm a little bit lost, because of the many files.

So where can I get svnadmin from?

Update: To clarify things. I am setting this up as a single user, without a server. I was searching for svnadmin, because the TortoiseSVN documentation stated it could be dangerous to just copy the repository directory when creating a backup.

TortoiseSVN now includes those in their install file (or atleast it did when I installed it 5/23/2012) During the options of what to choose to install i had to click on the command line tools. Now it is in (tortoisesvnInstallfolder)\bin\svnadmin.exe

just thought i'd share
