possible to 'get' folder by date?

Post by radiantgrid » Mon Mar 19, 2012 1:26 pm

I'd like to restore a Vault folder, as it existed on a specific date. There isn't a label assigned to the folder on that date, so it needs to be only done via date filter.

Is there a way to do this? (Using Vault 5.1.1)

Thanks,
Kirk

Yes, you can get the folder by version.

Right click on the folder and select Show History. In the History Query dialog, select "View folder history by version." This will give you a list of versions with their dates. Select the version that corresponds to the date you want, and click on Get from the buttons on the right.

You can also Label that version if you want to easily access it again.

I don't see a "Get" button on the right...I'm using 5.1.2 standard? I'm basically trying to be able to roll back an app by version. Seems to be a way to do this with labels, but would like to use the more formal changeset version as described here....

Wonderboy: Since you are trying to RollBack, you will want to take a look at this KB article: support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12594.

If you still don't see the Get button in the history area, let me know.
