Get project version specific date

Post by Pisoi » Mon Apr 03, 2006 9:25 am

Hi everybody !

Is it possible to retrieve the source code as it was on a specific date ?
I know it's possible with labels, but I didn't create one back then :(.
Or is it possible to create a label on a past date ?

Thanks very much

With SOS or VSS, you can Show History on a file and retrieve it from a particular date.

To retrieve an entire project, you would need to use a VSS Client, as this function is not available in SOS:

Show History on a project, including File History. In the History of Project$/Foo, select the item that corresponds to the date you want, and click "Get." You'll get a message "Get entire project containing this file version?" Select Yes. You'll get another dialog with the option to get the project recursively.

Thanks anyway

It was pretty useful, maybe you'll put it in a future version though :)
