Visual Studio 2013 multiple source control locations

[MatazaNZ]

I couldn't think of a better way to succinctly word the title, but I'll do my best to explain. When working with VS2013, I realised that when I'm writing a project from source control, it's writing from the repo directory, which makes sense. But I have set up specific locations for projects and source control, trying to keep them somewhat separate, which was before I learned how it actually worked. What I would like to know now is if I can easily have my repo mirrored in another location, like another drive partition like I originally planned? I'm okay with the repo being in the project folder, but am I able to have backups of that repo made automatically, without me having to manually do it(because I'll forget)? Thanks for any help, and ask if anything isn't quite clear, I'm typing this on my phone while waiting for my bus, and I'm tired as all hell

Why the need for backups when using version control (I guess git or svn). If you have the project synced with a server, like github, you won't have to bother about keeping backups.

I'm only keeping local copies. All my projects currently are closed source, and I don't have any private repo servers. AFAIK, I have to pay for private repos on GitHub

Try Gitlab.com, there you can get private repo's

I might have a look. It's not too much of a big issue right now, but could be worth a look in future. For now, keeping the files automatically backed up in a separate hard drive is enough peace of mind
