Is Microsoft visual source code safety on my code

In many times, Microsoft visual source has removed files from my solution after a check-in for the whole solution. especially when I work in offline-mode for a while and then reconnect and check-in.

My question: Is it really safety to my code ?

You may will laugh, I always copy the code to a backup folder before make any check in for many projects in the solution.

Note: I work on my own with the solution [Not in team], I use it just for backup and ver开发者_开发知识库sion history.

Any idea, help!!

Thanks for advance.

Visual Source Safe is better than having nothing at all, however, has many problems and is seen as unreliable by many.

Do yourself a favor and move yourself to either Subversion or a distributed SCM like Git or Mercurial.

I have seen VSS databases get corrupted, though the biggest issue with it is when working with a team and the locking nature of the program (only one person can work on a file at one time).

There is a lot said about Visual Source Safe, but its main problem is that it's not so powerful and versatile as other version control systems. I've worked with SourceSafe for many years and it has always worked perfectly, except for one co-worker who also had problems checking in files. Usually this was because he was making errors like not checking out files in which case they couldn't be checked in as well. When he started fooling around making copies back and forth to fix his problems, things could go wrong. But you got these kinds of problems with many other systems too. I'm using SVN, which can give you a hard time when you need to merge files. But for a single person's version control it should work fine. I'm guessing you're doing something wrong.
