[darcs-users] A dumb question

[Ralph Dratman]

David,

Okay, back to an older complete version sounds good to me. Do you use
a separate system of automated backups, then? I must confess I stopped
making frequent backups when I started using darcs, as I supposed it
could recreate a whole prior version.

(Do other version control systems have that capability?)

Thank you.

Ralph
