You shouldn't copy the repository. You can create a package that includes  
your entire repository or any selected portion of it. The package is  
simply a ZIP archive (with a file extension of .mgp) of the various  
resources from the repository along with all the config files needed to  
deploy it on a different server. You copy that single file to the other  
server, use MapGuide Site Administrator to load it, and you're in  
business. It is much easier than the headaches you're likely to encounter  
with copying the ../server/repository tree.
