At best, you'll still end doing things like zipping up a copy of the code each day and giving it a datestamp. Having a solid understanding of the diff and merge tools associated with VCS software has helped me a lot both at school and at work.
A real version control system is somewhat harder to set up and requires more conscious effort to use, but it's a move you won't regret.

Thank you for the information. We are currently evaluating it and haven't decided on it yet. I'll probably suggest we go with a Google Code type repo for our code. I used it for FRCFeed and liked it.
