Right now, my SVN repository is on my laptop's HDD (although I use a code hosting service for more "critical" personal projects) and I just copy the directory over on a weekly basis (which will eventually be scripted or perhaps I'll make an app for the hell of it). Am I at risk for corrupting my SVN repository? So far, I haven't had any problems with the original or the copy, but that doesn't mean that I'm not at risk in the future.

svn copy (cp) — Copy a file or directory in a working copy or in the repository.
The easiest way to copy files and folders from within a working copy is to use the right drag menu. When you right drag a file or folder from one working copy to another, or even within the same folder, a context menu appears when you release the mouse.
Consider using hot copy:
svnadmin hotcopy — Make a hot copy of a repository...
This subcommand makes a full “hot” backup of your repository, including all hooks, configuration files, and, of course, database files. If you pass the
--clean-logsswitch,svnadminwill perform a hotcopy of your repository, and then remove unused Berkeley DB logs from the original repository. You can run this command at any time and make a safe copy of the repository, regardless of whether other processes are using the repository...
