Sylvain,

I tried this command and it was able to restore some of the data. The problem, however, was that entire trees where cleaned out by this command as well. I tried several other options (on a copy of course) and in the end I had to restore the entire vss-directory to get things up and running again. I will use this copy to check its consistency first before continuing first.

Thanks for the tip.

Ron

>Try to analyze and fix the database with

ANALYZE -C -D -F -V4 C:\VSS\Data

in the command prompt. Check out the command "Analyse" in VSS help for more options and examples.
