I frequently save my projects into a separate file, and use the date as part of the file name. I found that not having a date in the file name and trusting the created/modified date can easily fail. If you open the file and don't do anything and close it, it might show the newer date and throw you off.
For example, today's folder is called "BJG 11-5-04". Throughout the day as I am working, I will save a copy of the folder. By the end of the day I will have several folders. Each will have today's date 11-5-04, with a "Copy 1, Copy 2" etc. I look at the created/modified time for the most current version on a particular day, rather than the "Copy 3".
At the beginning of a new day, I change the folder name for the new date, making sure there is a copy first. All previous saves go into a "Saves" folder. And as the days pass, I will clear out the "Saves" folder so that only that last save for each day remains.
I keep copies going quite a ways back. Sometimes you need to go back and review how a piece of code was written way back when.
Just one gal's methodology....
