Answer 1

See SVN Backups to Dropbox. This generates full or incremental dumps of the SVN repository and uploads the compressed result to Dropbox. The main advantage of this approach is that it does NOT use the Dropbox client software. The Dropbox client software synchronizes between your computer and the cloud, and a corrupted file would be synchronized. You can create a cronjob (or Windows scheduled task) to run this script every day/week/month/etc.
