I just modify a batch file to include the stuff I want, then this gets copied to a server that gets backed up and I zip it up there, test the zip file and done. Any large mods on a form say and I will go to the next number myform1 myform2 etc. Then your new version can't screw up the old one.
I do find VSS a bit clunky and had a brief look round when I went to windows 7 but nothing struck me as easy to use where I could also import the VSS data. Maybe I'll have to review them again.
