It’s really nighhtmare to maintain all projects backup manually in a single computer when a project is developed by different programmer(s). But it’s really easy if we assign the manual task to any sub versioning sofware like Tortois SVN.

Prerequiresites:

1. Local area network(LAN).

2. Install SVN in all computers including Backup Server ( installation require 5 minutes per computer).  How to install?

3. Backup Server (don’t worry its a general configuration computer just consider as Backup Server). It’s wise to assign company name to backup server. For instance say company

When a project(first_project) starts, do the following task in Server:

1. Create Repository in Server computer. Which mean create a folder named first_project in server pc.

2. Open the folder and right click -> TortoisSVN -> Create Repository Here.

3. Many folders will create and show a popup confirmation as.

When a project(first_project) starts do the following task in Developer PC:

1. Create a folder in your root with the same name first_project. open the folder and Right click -> SVN Checkout

2. You will get a folder named .svn. Now paste initial folder and files of your project here. After that, right click -> SVN commit. Press ok.

Every hour or end of the day when developer plan to take off from office, simply right click -> SVN Commit

That’s it All projects are now under version control. Which mean after 2 month, if you want to revert a module it’s possible. Who developed this module (need some editing) is easy to identify. Enjoy Yourself !!
Hey keep in mind, if your backup server hard drive crash due to power failure i am not responsible for that If crashed, don’t worry every developer PC still contain latest version of the project. So lets get START
