Nothing stops you from using a remote git server on some private remote hosting server, that gets backed up regularly. Or having a dedicated git server in your LAN, that you regularly backup. Or indeed, make regular backups of your working directory, on one or more external media; it's as easy as COPY THE ENTIRE DIRECTORY. -L. _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
