Actually, for a full backup, you'll need more than just the data folder. Since the overhead isn't much, just backup the entire VSS directory and all of its subdirectories. Be sure everyone is logged out of VSS before backing up. See the FAQ at http://www.michaelis.net/SourceSafe/Faq.htm#_Toc467388281
