: Re: Does using version control system make backups unnecessary? Suppose I use Git, Subversion or any other version control system for managing my writing. So my texts are preserved together with change

If you're backing up your git repo by simply using remote repositories, then no, you don't need further backups.

When you make a commit, you're making a backup copy and putting it in the .git folder. If you push your git repo up to github or anywhere else, you are essentially making a backup copy of your repo.

That being said, I do backup all of my remote repositories (just like github.com probably does behind the scenes) so that if my git server goes down, restoring it takes only a moment and I don't have to go searching for repository clones everywhere.
