storing complete versions of a project

Hello,

Say you have releasted version 1.0 of a product.

Now you start working on a new release, but want to store a complete copy of version 1.0 just in case. Does Vault have a mechanism to store all the files for a project in a archive?

The 1.0 release is already stored in the Vault database. What you probably want to know is, "how do I continue development but get the 1.0 version when I need it?"

You can label the project, which marks the point in time when the 1.0 version is just the way you want it. Later, you can Show Labels on the project and do a Get from that label.

Also, if you're new to version control, Eric Sink's HowTo will be useful, too:
