    Hi - I'd like to create online backups of my Visual Studio directories. I work from a location with a reeeeeaaaallllllyyyyy sllllloooowwww connection, so I was thinking of creating as minimal backups as possible. Has anyone solved this problem? I was thinking that I only need the .vcproj, the .rc, the source code (.cc and .h) to be able to completely recreate the project. Am I on the right track here? Thanks!

      I back up every couple of hours or after a major code problem gets solved/overcome. In order to make it all fit in a reasonable space, I just delete the .ncb file, release folder , and debug folders. Those seem to be the biggest users of disk space (for medium to large projects at least) IMO.
