Why not use CVS to help manage your projects? That way you not only have completed projects, but a full revision history and logs of what was done, by whom and when. Then your CVS repository can be kept safely (and backed up locally) and the remote version is just the most recent stuff. Yes, CVS works best for ascii files, but becomes equally nice for binary files (I've frequently used it for graphics revisions like from Photoshop). Then you can sync it up with Gforge (http://www.gforge.org/) and you have a complete project management system. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
