Ah, Right. Little tip: * Note that you talk of ONE dll - you will have more soonish. * Note that you talk of 20 days only. Projects last longer. * Note that everyone with some knowledge will tell you that 2Gb is about the largest you can get with a VSS database unless you want to risk things. It is basically that - VSS is not done to handle archives of anything more than a trivial size. Does not work. You will have to wait for another product, like switching to Sourcegear's Vault (using SQL Server as storage - they can deal with 100 Tb if necessary). VSS just is not made for multi gigabyte archives. And this is a well documented and well known fact, which you can easily verify. Thomas TomiczekTHONA Software & Consulting Ltd.
