Store_Deltas Initialization Variable

Sets whether VSS stores change information between versions of a file. The default is Yes.

Syntax

Store_Deltas = {Yes|No}

Example

Stores all changes between file versions:

Store_Deltas = Yes

Remarks

You should use this variable rarely. Setting this variable to No saves disk space on the VSS server, but doesn't allow you to re-create past versions of files.

When you add files to VSS, the Add Files command lets you decide if VSS retains its old version of a file or only the latest version by using the Store Only Latest Version check box in the Advanced options in the Add Files dialog box. Setting the Store_Deltas variable controls the default setting of this option. The default is Yes, but you can manually override this setting for individual files in the Add Files dialog box.
