Please reply to the list instead of to me in private... If you need to change the server then you must install CVSNT (preferably the latest 2.5.03.2260 version) on your new server. Then in the control panel create a repository in the usual manner. Now copy all of the files from the old repository over to the new one *except* the CVSROOT folder with its files. The CVSROOT folder fioles you need to handle more carefully because these scripts may need to be modified to work in the new environment, so: - Check out CVSROOT from the new server - Check out CVSROOT from the old server (in another sandbox) - Copy the files from the old server that have a revision number higher than 1.1 on top of the sandbox from the new server. - Now edit all files that were changed by ths copy and make sure the contents is what you want. - Commit the files. Peter Crowther's remark about the AntiVirus apply also here. You do not want AV messing with the repository files.

Is there a set of instructions somewhere on how a move like this would be performed or can anyone offer some information about what is involved in this type of move?
