<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I'd be happy to recommend other source control packages, but if you're on your own and your company is using SourceSafe, I'd use it even though it's obsolete and not supported and maybe has those file corruption issues. I also wouldn't entirely trust it and continue your own backup program.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">If you're on your own and just want to CYA, I'd use and recommend DropBox, and even recommend that for small departments because it doesn't require any in-house space, support, or IT connections (assuming you're not already in a high security environment and can reach the 'net). Bonuses are that it's simple and pretty bulletproof. It does cost something like $40 a year for the source control archive feature, but well worth it.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">If you want to set up a system in house, which I'd shy away from, SVN is pretty much the gold standard for developers, but it does require a server and probably IT support. Overkill for anything less than a department, IMHO. I use Tortoise as the front end to the SVN server; works great. SVN is like buying IBM equipment -- no one's going to bitch at you for making a conservative choice with a package that's on the Best Practices list.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Art</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div>Art Campbell <a href="mailto:art.campbell@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&tf=1&to=art.campbell@gmail.com&cc=&bcc=&su=&body=','_blank');return false;">art.campbell@gmail.com</a><br> "...
