Getting a folder as-at a point in time, no label/branch

Post by tomt84 » Wed Mar 04, 2009 9:51 am

Hi

I am in a situation where I need to fetch a (large) folder from Vault as it existed at a particular point in time.

Unfortunately there was no label or branch created at the point where I need to get to.

Is there any way to do this? I can't find an obvious way to do this through the Vault client.

Version is 4.1.3.18336

Thanks
Tom

Yes, you can do this.

Right click on the folder and select Show History. In the History Query dialog, select View folder history by version. This will give you a list of versions with their dates. Select the version that corresponds to the date you want, and click on Label from the buttons on the right.

Good stuff, I wasn't even aware that collection of buttons existed. Very useful.

Thanks
