Let the disk that holds your VSS database run out of space and see what
happens... Report back here when you finish restoring from backup :)

Seriously, this happened to me, VSS 6.0d corrupted the database when I tried
to checkin a file, and the corruption was beyond repair, the only option was
to restore from backup. I chose to change version control tools that day,
and guess what he first test was that I did while evaluating products!

BTW, we also experienced random corruption over the years that usually
resulted in losing a revision or two of some files. VSS works fine if there
is only one user and has plenty of spare disk space, otherwise I wouldn't
touch it with a ...[insert object here].
