I hope this is a simple question. &nbsp;Currently we have one VSS environment, which is of course production. &nbsp;I want to create a Development and Test environment. &nbsp; My question is how can you copy/clone the production VSS environment (database, users, etc.) for Dev and Test. &nbsp;Currently I have a \\...\sourcecode$\vss &nbsp;share set up, this is the production environment. &nbsp;Should I keep all three separate, can dev and test be two separate trees, etc......

Version control, also known as revision control or source control, is the management of changes to documents, computer programs, large web sites, and other collections of information. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number," "revision level," or simply "revision." Version control systems (VCS) most commonly run as stand-alone applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software such as word processors and spreadsheets, and in various content management systems. Revision control allows for the ability to revert a document to a previous revision. Git, a widely-used VCS, has its own topic; other popular systems include CVS, Subversion, Team Foundation Server (TFS), Visual SourceSafe (VSS) and Perforce.
