Is it safe to move a Visual Source Safe project folder to another location?

Question

I have a Visual Source Safe project in folder VSS with the structure "data", "temp" and "users" under. Is it safe to just move this VSS folder to another location on the hard drive and open the project from there or will thousands of file links become broken?

Answer 1

Having done this several times, I can say that it is safe. However you must copy All the files. As indicated by @Rachel it is better if some tidy up has been undertaken first.

I have used this approach to backup before attempting something which could be destructive, for example archiving some old projects.
