How do I get all users out of VSS in order to perform a backup?

The easy way is to have everyone access SS via a share. Then you can pause the share, eliminating any new access, send out a message that users are about to be dropped, then delete the share, dropping all users. Once you're done, you can re-establish the share. • Check out Paul D'Anna batch file at http://www.michaelis.net/SourceSafe/vsshealth.bat.txt
