Dirk,

There was indeed an Archive/Restore operation that led to the creation of 
this VSS database. We were forced down that route by VSS (some time ago) 
because the database had become very corrupted and our monthly analyze was 
taking >24 hours to run. So we had to split our large VSS database up into 
several smaller databases.

I was also astonished by that fact. And no the big question: How can vss 
generate physical ID prior to the parent phyiscal ID. The only idea that 
comes to my mind is again the insane ARCHIVE / RESTORE handling.

:-( it seems so..., but we could also introduce a new step to build the 
parent child hierarchy. This could be possible without the timestamp. We 
would assign the maximum depth of each physical item in the hierarchy as 
a new sort string.
