so based on a working month approx of approx 20 days you will after 5 months have accumulates a terrible 500MB, on say a 160GB (a pretty average size drive these days) drive, I fail to see the big issue, it's not as-if you would get the latest version of every build ever done when you simply want to reference the latest build in your solution

So doing 100 nightly builds causes 500MB of size in your db. :) Not a pleasant thought ;) FB =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: Essential .NET: building applications and components with CSharp August 30 - September 3, in Los Angeles http://www.develop.com/courses/edotnet View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com ************************************************************************************************************************** Everything in this e-mail and attachments relating to the official business of MultiChoice Africa is proprietary to the company.
