No, it is not possible with Subversion.

If you want protection against loss of history data in case of server
failure, you should investigate one of the distributed version control
systems.

They would also give you protection against single point of failure
(no one needs a central server to make checkins), better branching and
merging, and better version control for peripheral contributors who
have no commit right to the central repository.

There is a minor holy war going on about which one to choose, here is
my order of preference:
1. Bazaar http://bazaar-vcs.org/
2. Mercurial http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/
3. git http://git-scm.com/
