You can also revert to a previous version if you are using Eclipse. Eclipse has this nice functionality called Local history that allows it. Right click on a file and use "compare with..." -> "Local History".

You can then compare your current version with old ones. You can merge select part of the code or right click on the old version and replace all your current version with the old one.

Number of entries and duration of conservation of old version can be configured in Eclipse preferences in "General" -> "Workspace" -> "Local history"

Ted,

Have you considered a source code revision control system??

There are a lot of options for this. I personally use subversion and a free hosting site unfuddle.

Other user suggested options...

I recommend downloading TortoiseSVN and using Subclipse. Look those up.

Or start using subversion (eclipse plugin: subclipse)

You could just create a backup of the project folder, rather than the entire workspace. Then if you need it again, create a new project from existing source using that folder later.
