Every so often the topic of how to backup our FutureBASIC files comes 
up.  Consider this: you're programming along saving every so often 
and making archive copies after testing your changes and then IT 
happens: the program stopped working and you just finished ten 
different global changes that should not affected anything. 
Basically you either use a comparison program (MPW's comparefiles is 
my favorite for this part) or you throw away the changes since the 
last working version of the program.  The better way is to get 
Aladdin Flashback (by the makers of the StuffIt family) and you tell 
it what files to backup each time you save the file with some 
additional optional restrictions.  And this is not just for those 
changes that you do wrong, every so often we encounter a compiler bug 
(FB3 is not alone there, I've seen serious bugs in major workstation 
compilers).

Aladdin Flashback is not the sort of program that you know you need 
even after reading a review, it's one of those program that you don't 
know you need until after you started using it for months.  I got my 
first copy at work as part of an Aladdin promotion of their new 
programs.
