SUMMARY

When restoring a .ssa file to a different database, from which it was archived, the following message may occur:
Destination database is not the same as the original. Some links may not be restored.
To invoke the wizard in the SourceSafe Admin program, from the Restore Projects menu, choose Archive.

MORE INFORMATION

This message refers to the share and branch links to other projects and/or files that may have existed before creation of the .ssa file. This message is warning the user that the database you are restoring the .ssa file to may not have the project/file names that the links were committed to in the database where the .ssa file was created.

This message is repeated a second time in the Restore Wizard after step three of three is completed in the wizard.

NOTE: This message may appear even if the project/file(s) are not shared or branched.
