SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the Visual SourceSafe Archive & Restore Wizard to archive
projects in your database, you may receive the following error message if you
try to archive files that are greater than 2 gigabytes (GB):
Out of memory
CAUSE
=====
By default, Visual SourceSafe archive files cannot be greater than 2 GB.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, make sure that your archive files are less than 2 GB.
Microsoft recommends that you archive one project at a time. Additionally, make
sure that all of the deleted items have been purged.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To reproduce the behavior, create an archive that is greater than 2 GB. If you
do not receive the error message when you archive the file, you receive the
error message when you try to restore the archive.
NOTE: A database that is 2 GB may become smaller than 2 GB when you archive the
database. Therefore, create an archive that is larger than 2 GB.
