I also use vim and its project plugin for development. J ide is only
used to load, build, test, debug.  Other facilities in PM such as text
editor, find-in-files, snapshots are not used.

As Ric suggested, you need a VCS (version control system) to back up
revisions, both subversion and git are popular choices, but I
recommend git because it is easier to use.  Unlike subversion, git
does not need a centralised server or daemon for working.  Suppose you
want to track files in a folder.

cd /path/to/folder
git init 
git add .
git commit -m 'initial commit'

and that's all. All files in that folder and its subfolders will be
tracked.
