Yes, I really ought to, but never bothered getting into it for my little one man amateur project.
I will investigate options later.

Thanks for the nudge - I'm watching videos about Git now. I'll install it this evening.
After my second mechanical hard drive failure, yes second....I started using 2 drives and imaging software.
Now I use also use office365 to have docs in one drive cloud. They do sales on family packs for about £45/year which you can stack, a few times a year
For imaging I used macrium reflect, british company, and they also have a free version which does whole disk imaging, which is good, but I got the software to support them

YIKES! 
I would like to say to the driver involved in one incident that I have just seen on Police Interceptors... "Don't EVER drive a car again - you really are NOT fit to do it!"
A couple set off to drive a few miles N from Barrow-in-Furness to visit someone up there. Instead, they ended up driving E, turned onto the M6, and drove miles up that IN THE WRONG DIRECTION without realising what they had done wrong. Eventually they ran out of fuel 40 miles from where they thought they were. They were sat in the car wondering what to do next when the police arrived in response to scores of panic 999 calls from swerving oncoming motorway drivers. A patient police officer was explaining what the problem was. The confused driver then asked what would have happened if a car coming the other way had hit them...
Interceptor: "Well, we wouldn't be sat here having this chat, would we!"
It is scary to think that people like that are driving around...

Dodged one of those on the A38 in Devon, late Christmas day. Scary.

I would like to say to the first of these shopping trolley dumpers - "You are a lazy b*st*rd - those are bicycle stands, NOT a trolley storage area! The actual trolley area is just up that little ramp over there."
And to the subsequent shopping trolley dumpers - "You are ALL lazy b*st*rds - those are bicycle stands, NOT a trolley storage area! And just because someone else has done it before you, doesn't mean that it is okay for YOU to do it too!"

O'er yon hill, 'neath a cloud of mist,
Lies a strange feathered creature, the gobbleduck to exist;
Its head so sharp, its tail so long,
It is seen by none, but heard with a song;
From sunrise to sunset it chirps and sings,
As it builds new nests with its beak and wings.
Oh bugger now it will…

Actually, I have been - pre-pandemic. Evidently, there are lazy people everywhere!
Okay, there may be one or two of the Todmorden Aldi shoppers with mobility issues but I bet that most of the trolley dumpers just couldn't be bothered to take them back from their cars.

I don't like the Beatles.
I was feeling guilty that I didn't recognise many of their songs so I tried listening to a YouTube compilation; I gave up after ten minutes and tried a different one from a different era. That lasted five.
I'm sure they're all the things people say about them, but I don't get it.
My wife, a keen musician and music teacher, is apalled.

You have my support Andy. Never saw the appeal.
I grew up on Merseyside.....was working in the city early 60s.
I didn't dislike them but was a Rolling Stones fan.
