If you share modules between customers, then you should have them all in the same repository. You can restore individual modules if there is some sort of disaster, but I'm not aware of anyone losing information to CVS. You should consider the administration and module sharing aspects more than disaster recovery, since those have a higher impact. I have a handful of repositories set up. We have several developers split into a number of teams that have little interaction and virtually no file sharing. I elected to set up one repository per independent group so that they could administer their own repositories and control read/write access conveniently for each (via the CVSROOT writers file). Take some time and think about what you want to do with your repositories--what scripting, access control, etc. That should lead you to a logical ordering of the repositories.

We are debating the best approach to setting up our repository. Should we setup a repository for each customer that we have and put each of their projects in a separate module or should we have one large software repository that has a module for each customer? The administrators thought was to create a repository for each customer and place their projects within it. Reason: If something happened to a repository then our down time would be limited to one customer and backup recovery would be easier by replacing the entire repository from last night's backup. The users thought was to create a single "Software" repository and create a module for each customer and place their projects within it. Reason: It would be easier to just go to the same repository and list the modules. -- **************************************** Name: David Williamson Company: Integrated Visual Systems, Inc. **************************************** _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
