Do you use any form of version control software such as Git?
Is your code safely secured online?
Should I write a small tutorial to get things started? EDIT: Done.

I'm currently using Gitlab and I'm really happy with it!

Let's discuss it!

Hobby developer here. I build the project, copy ObfuscatorMap.txt, clean the project, re-store ObfuscatorMap.txt for later reference/crash report debug, and then zip the directory. The zip is named for the version and stored on Google Drive. I also keep a change log.

I used to do the same with Dropbox... Then I realized how further superior and faster is to use git. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try. :)

I use the same Filippo system, and once daily the Cloud Software (Megabox) automatically transfers everything to my remote HD.

Use 3 different Cloud Software: Google Drive, DropBox, MegaBox each to save different data.

For the source of the software I preferred MegaBox because it is more versatile and you can choose the folders of your HardDisk to share, which can not be done on others that impose a single folder where to put the material to share.
Plus you give 50Gb free

I use Onedrive as a Backup system

I'd like to use a real versioning system but they're too complex; I do versioning copying .b4a file and changing it's name (also changing a global variable that sets the version)

I use the zip method after publishing an update like @ac9ts combined with the source folder being in a dropbox structure so it has restore "versioning" there aswell.

I used Tortoise (with GitLab) once or twice when working with multiple people on a (C64) project.
I didn't like it and it sometimes messes up things if you didn't stick to the right order. (commit, pull, whatever)

it seems that some items are mixed in this discussion: backup on the one side is very important but version control (what the discussion should be) is something different and makes it easier to develop your software, e.g. developing new features in different branches, or if many people are developing one project. @wonder: thanks a lot for your tutorial!!

I'm just learning to use git at work, it's complicated so far, seems like a lot of work to just check in one file, we use a remote resource so I have to submit a pull request to have someone else review and commit my new code to the main version from my fork.

While I have to agree that, at work, Git can become really complex, for a single developer at home, Git is FANTASTIC!
