Is there a way to save files when they are overwritten by undo?

I just lost a few hours of work because I did an undo and get latest changes. I tried using a decompiler to get the code back but the dlls were replaced on the get latest changes.

Would it be possible to have tfs or visual studio save changes locally when I do an undo? I can periodically clear out the directory on my own so it doesn't get huge.

you can download this extension. Visual Studio History Extension

And run it, restart your visual studio. It keeps your changes, when you undo any item, that is a change. Therefore it keeps your changes before from undo.

Undo asks "are you sure?". Don't click "Yes" if you aren't. Anyway, see your AutoRecover directory, but that's cleared on each successful save.

See Is there a Visual Studio equivalent to Eclipse's Local History? for some alternatives.
