Is there a simple automatic backup system for Visual Studio projects?

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Express and I would like Visual Studio (or perhaps an Add-in) to save my whole project to some sort of auto-incrementing archive or whatever would help me recover from disasters. I don't have much need for SVN or complex versioning systems. I'm just looking for something simple and lean.

Any help would be much appreciated.

PS : I looked into the built-in AutoRecover feature but it doesn't seem to save more than a few files.

Answer 1

You're describing a source control. SVN isn't hard and takes about 3 minutes to install and configure. A simpler solution would be to create a batch file that copies your entire solution into a backup folder and names the folder by date perhaps.
