Hi,

I don't have much experience using version control with TOS, but definitely with TIS!

In TIS, all your projects are stored directly into SVN, and SVN automatically takes care of the version control. You have options on how to manage the locking system, when to commit your modifications to SVN, you can also enter a User Log when you commit. And you can also checkout an older version of a job! On top of that, we are now using the branching system of SVN, so you can create branches of your projects!

In summary, TIS is tightly integrated with SVN, and I've implemented it for a lot of customers, most of the time the issues that I have encountered were linked to a bad usage or a wrong configuration. 99% of our customers using TIS are using SVN to store the projects, so believe me if there was any issue with it, we would have used something else :-)

For TOS, if you want to backup your Talend Projects, you could actually create a job that will copy the content of your workspace, archive it and save it into a folder which name would be the date it happened for example, and then export that job as a script, and execute it whenever you need to do a backup.
