First.. running a VB app under wine... wow... they've come so far from
running notepad :)

Second.. how about running svn or perforce (free for 1 user license.. even
commercial). For pure backup with not much recovery raunchy suffices, once
you get into partial and selective restore things get more complicates.
Source control might make sense. Can't speak for GIT or bitkeeper bit I'd
check them out.
