I'm not a developer but the network guy. The code that is checked in to SS
resides on our file server. The VSS Server is on an application server. I
point VSS Server to the it's database which lives on the file server. This
application server is NOT clustered. The file server is. I don't care about
the application... I do care about the code which is checked into VSS. I can
resinstall the VSS application easy. Getting back over a years worth of
development, not so easy. Yes we have backup, etc. but I'd still like to
have the code on our file server in the application on the appliaction
server. Anyone see any issues with this?

>Two Questions:
1. Can you install Visual Source Safe on one box and the database (the
code) stored on another. I know there might be a degree of latency over
the network, but we only have 3 developers.
I have always used SourceSafe that way (With the DB on a separate server
from the dev. machine(s)). In fact I've always assumed thats the way it's
SUPPOSED to be used... A local copy of the code is on my personal
machine(obviously) but the actual SS database of code history etc. is on
the server. Never had any serious problems.
>2. Does anyone know of any gotcha running Visual Source Safe on a
cluster. Windows 2003 Active/Passive cluster configuration.
Sorry, can't help with that one... only ever had it running on a single
server.
Cheers,
Chris.
