You can add as many stacks as you like to the build. so the Dist Builder may be all you need for this. Just use a working directory that you have the latest revisions in and copy the folder whenever you backup. That way once you include the latest revision of a stack file in the build it will always be the latest. > > I wasn't really looking for the full monte (pun intended) Oh ho HO..

What info do you want to track about each build?
