VSS is a must even if you are working on code by yourself. VSS has label functionality that you can use to tag points in time with your code. If you are not using VSS or similar type source control then I highly recommend doing so.
I cannot count the number of times VSS has saved me. Especially working late at night when I'm prone to make mental mistakes.

Agreed - this has happened to me several times. Fortunately, I use VSS and was able to recover the last version of the file but it can be annoying.

I am almost exclusively using that working with a development server, then doing wholesale moves. I have had a number of "OH @$*#!!!" moments where Homesite dies in the middle of a save and I am left with a forced kill of homesite.exe and an 0 byte file on the server! That alone keeps me from using that method in production.
