Hi,

A snapshot uses existing baselines for components if available and creates baselines where needed. It references the baselines. A baseline references to the current change sets in a component. A baseline is no backup but references to all the changes that represent the state of all the files in the baseline. So baseline allows to recreate the files in the component to the state when the baseline was done. That includes files that might be deleted in the future but existed at the time the baseline was created. That is the task of a source code management system.

Yes, you can restore a deleted file, by selecting the baseline that was
created before that file was deleted. Was this not what you expected?

Cheers

Thanks for your reply. I have done the following testing and I
suspected RTC has some mechanism for file recovery:

Test Case setup
Add source A into My repository workspace, create new baseline
"File Added" and deliver
Import another source B and delete A in Navigator
In Pending Changes we can see +/- sign is shown for specifc sources
Click Check-in, source is changed in My repositary workspace and
created new baseline "File Changed". We can see "one
outgoing baseline" is shown in pending changes
Click deliver, source and baseline has been sync to server source
control

Behavior in Server Source Control
Replace with baseline in server component and change to baseline
"File Added", the baseline replaced and source A is shown
Replace with baseline in server component and change to baseline
"File Changed", the baseline replaced and source B is
shown

Behavior in My Repositary Workspace
Replace with baseline in My Repositary Workspace for "File
changed", source B is shown in file explorer
Replace with baseline in My Repositary Workspace for "File
Added", source A is shown in file explorer

Is that RTC will restore deleted file in server when we can restore
the file by restoring baseline? Especially the strange case is when I
delete the file, RTC prompt that the file will be deleted in file
system. But after I restore the baseline in My Repositary Workspace
it appear again. Can anyone please share some of your experience for
it?
