Yes, that was my thought too. I will just run the dump/load during the weekend again. Also, now that I know you can dump/load in a single step rather than to disk then load it shouldn't be so bad. I do think I will plan to dump filter out all the paths with binaries and move them to the file system only or a separate repository that can be purged periodically and then use externals to bring them into the WC. I think some people here have mentioned a binary library tool that rotates your binaries... or I can just add it to my nant scripts like I currently do it with test installers. Thanks, BOb
