svnrdump generates the same dump as svnadmin dump. According to the red book:
The svnrdump program is, to put it simply, essentially just network-aware flavors of the svnadmin dump and svnadmin load subcommands, rolled up into a separate program.
The only difference between the two is that svnadmin dump operates on a file path to the repository (i.e. it should be run on the same server) whereas svnrdump accepts a remote repository URL.
The answer from Patrick is mostly correct, However the dumps provided are NOT the same.
svnrdump by default creates a delta encoded dump file. While svnadmin dump does not.
svnadmin dump needs the switch --deltas to produce matching dumps.
