	How do I make or create a new "Project Files" or maybe a new Solution to keep my old files as backup during code development?� I tried all type of methods but nothing seems to work. The old file (my backup) either get over writing or the solution build gets broken from my changes-nice!� What am I doing wrong? Is there a another method to make my life little easier to save your (backup) code as you go?

	Hi, You can use a source control extension and use all the normal pro tools to checkin/step back/compare source code? If you want to back up manually then only the .ino/.pde/.cpp/.c/.h sources need to be saved. All other files Visual Micro can automatically recreate. note: When you open an arduino cpp project in atmel studio then visual micro reads the sources from the disk and adds any that are missing. The compile for arduino ignores the project and looks only at the sources in the sketch folder, which is how the arduino ide works.

	I'm not sure� I understand what Source Control Extensions are. Is this a tool (third party add on) or does Atmel Studio provide a plug-in for this tool? Thanks
