Is any using a source code control system they like? I'm currently using a manual process and I'm wondering about upgrading to a more automated system. Any input from your experiences?

At home, I manually backup my stuff.

At work they use VSS (Visual SourceSafe) for Visual Studio integration and the java programmers use SubVersion for Eclipse integration

There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count and those who can't.
4 out of 3 people have trouble with fractions.

Windows has a 64 bit GUI for a set of 32 bit extensions on a 16 bit shell for an 8 bit OS using a 4 bit kernel made by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

We were using VSS (Visual SourceSafe) at work; but, we have now moved to SubVersion with TortoiseSVN. We use VisualSVN Server (free) with VisualSVN Client ($49) for Visual Studio integration.

Here is great article on getting started with SubVersion using all free products:
Source Control for Visual Studio 2008: VisualSVN Server, TortoiseSVN, & AnkhSVN
Even though this is for 2008 I don't see why it wouldn't work for 2005 as well.

I'm still learning SVN and getting more into branches as you release a product and continue developing having 2 branches (release and trunk) and then merging one into another.

I like the "Revert" function, you make a change and then you want to go back to the previous version.

I wonder if source control program's source code is managed by a source control program

Ok so that's a bad riddle

Isn't that the old saying... "eat what you cook". I've been told that Microsoft doesn't use SourceSafe but another high end tool like Perforce or the likes of.
