I have always tempted fate when it has come to backing up my coding projects. Trusting that my computer hard drive would not fail me and that all my precious hours, blood, sweat and tears that I put into the code would not disappear into thin air. However as I grow older (and more synical) I'm begging to realise that eventually this will come back to bite me.
So after months of saying I'll do it and never getting around to it I have now finally uploaded all my development stuff into an online code repository and version control system, namely Google code. Now this is not my first attempt I actually created the account and repository over 2 years ago but I never actually uploaded any code to it (Which makes it pretty useless).
This time however some code has finally made it into Google Code, you can find my repository here http://code.google.com/p/bsx11mt/ if you're interested in having a look as per Google Code's requirements the code is completely free and open source.
So far I'm liking the version control for my game development stuff, the ability to trace out the development of indiviudal features and files is really interesting. You can see how stuff evolves over time or at what point it all started to go wrong.
I highly recommend Google Code and Tortoise SVN for any individual or small team of developers out there who are looking for something a little better than swapping and reserving files.
