After reading a topic on the list here about someone losing their website,
and having a minor mistake on my own that cost me a week's work on a file
(basically, tested the file, then uploaded to the live site and took the
daily backup off the live site.. only to find the file was messed up.. and
had to go to the weekly backup off cd to recover it, losing a week of
work)..
I'm wondering if anybody knows of a version control software program that
may fit my needs.
Basically, I'm looking for something that runs locally, not on the live
site, that I can edit the files on the dev computer, and store old versions
on the dev computer, and then just publish off of the local onto the live
site whenever I need to.
Anybody have any suggestons/ideas on how this should be done, and what
program is a good fit?
Thanks for any help,
Ben
Hi Ben
Late reply, but... this could give you a really easy start:

If you are not familiar with VMWare, you just need the VMWare Player (or
above), which is free. All you do is 'play' the server image on your
computer and you are away. Even if it won't suit your needs (I think
there is no SSL or multiple project support on the jumpbox version
unless you buy a subscription), it will give you a handy taster of what
you get with SVN, Apache serving SVN and Trac before going through
installing it yourself.
If no-one else has mentioned it...

I also like TortoiseSVN when using Windows. Good luck.
