Thanks for the Backup folder!

[strider3]

I just want to thank the Devs for creating the "Backup" folder in my Saved. I apparently reached the Windoze 7 maximum Good Times limit yesterday during a launch..."click"...no sound...Blue Screen O' Death. I rebooted and restarted KSP...and I had no saved game! Thankfully, before I completely went postal, I remembered this folder and copied the last previous Persistent file as my new one...and I was back in business.

I thank you for the foresight in creating this folder and it's functionality...saved my career...and my mental well being .

Yeah! Thank the devs for that! I remember backing up my save game furiously manually before .

There's also the save file backups that Kerbal Alarm Clock will make when you jump between ships using its UI.

For the more experienced folks, I recommend version controlling your entire KSP directory into Subversion (SVN), which handles binaries very well and is pretty easy to use with tools like TortoiseSVN.  It also gives you a way to cheaply version control multiple copies of KSP, each running different versions or a different set of mods.

Daily or weekly backups are also a good idea.

Gee, that's one solution I've never thought of - great idea!
