Why should I use version control if I'm working alone and already back up regularly?

Question

I\'m working on a project:

• Just me, no collaboration/source code sharing
• I\'m already backing my code up regularly, and I can use Dropbox to restore mista

Answer 1

Ever make a change to a file and think "Oh sh**..., I wish I could undo that!".

That's why a one man development team still needs version control.

Edit: I should clarify that version control allows you to cherry pick revisions over your entire project history. With most systems you can do a side-by-side compare before reverting as well. This is a far cry from simply picking a backup at some point, restoring it, and hoping you have the file you wanted.
