Hi,

I have a vss backup file taken some time back but I do not know which VSS version it is as the harddisk got crashed but could not find the .ssa file instead it has the folders like data, temp and users along with srcsafe configuration file.
Can you please help me how to restore the vss to a folder.
Thanks in advance

Raj

Made a bat file for automatic transfer that creates a datefile, put it in Task Scheduler.
:

Need to be admin login, this logs, and backup everything.

echo off

FOR /F “TOKENS=1* DELIMS= ” %%A IN (‘DATE/T’) DO SET CDATE=%%B
FOR /F “TOKENS=1,2 eol=/ DELIMS=/ ” %%A IN (‘DATE/T’) DO SET mm=%%B
FOR /F “TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=/ eol=/” %%A IN (‘echo %CDATE%’) DO SET dd=%%B
FOR /F “TOKENS=2,3 DELIMS=/ ” %%A IN (‘echo %CDATE%’) DO SET yyyy=%%B
SET date=%mm%%dd%%yyyy%

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssarc.exe” -d- -i -yadmin,secret -olog.txt “-cArchive Everything” %date%_archive.ssa $/
