switchex Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi .. As I am developing my shop on my local PC before opening it on a host server, I would like to be able to save my changes as i go along and be able to go back in case I made a change i didn't like ..i would probably like to make a daily back up and be able to go back one day at a time if i need to .. someone here suggested using a software (forgot what software) to keep track of my changes .. but I was thinking i can keep saving my work under a different name at the end of the day and go back to it if i need to .. question is:which file/folders are my changes saved into?I tried to make a second copy of my Shop folder (under the WWW directiry) with a different name Shop2 but every time i make a change in my admin end, both shop and shop2 get updated .. i only want one of them to get updated while the other stays the same in case i need to go back to it .. thanks.

MrBaseball34 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Best thing to do would be to get a VCS (Version Control System) I have one called Jedi-VCS (http://jedivcs.sourceforge.net/) that works great, it is small and fast and easy to use has a GUI for checkin/checkout.You could also get Subversion (http://subversion.apache.org/) and TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) and use it instead.
