Is backup a useful way of versioning a station?

I have restored a backuop in my station but still trying to get a working version back after a crash left we mit errors.
Is the backup functionality expected to be used for that?

    The only other way I can think of is writing out pack and go archives. Is that what people do during development?
    I find it really useful to jump pack to yesterday and compare what changed if i break something but havent found a good way to do that with robotstudio.

    Not sure about others but I normally use backups as I have found the station to be stable but the VC can get corrupt and you loose all your programing.

    Thanks for that, i was wondering what fiels or data are saved for the VC?

    The backup is the same as for the real controller - RAPID program and configuration files.

    If the VC gets totally corrupt you have build another one with the same options and then restore the backup.

    I have my code in git additionally but once the controller fails to start there isnt much chance for debugging
