SUMMARY
=======
You can set up Visual SourceSafe for replication under Windows NT to allow a
database to be mirrored on a backup server, and thus increase network
reliability. This article explains how to do it for SourceSafe.
MORE INFORMATION
================
1. Follow the directions for setting up a replication directory as presented in
the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q101602 Configuring Windows NT for Replication
2. Set up the permissions for SourceSafe, which can be a bit tricky. There are
two sets of permissions that must be reviewed: Share permissions and
Directory permissions. The directory permissions override the settings of the
share permissions. Because of this, setting up a share in this directory is a
two-step process; you must set both sets of permissions. After setting up the
share in the normal fashion, the NT administrator must also change the
Security..Permissions to include SS users.
