I use Bazaar for this very thing.  One nice thing is that you can 
branch to a thumb drive (or anywhere) for backup and it makes it very 
easy to backup, restore, or take the code somewhere else.  If you use a 
full branch then the backup has the complete version history and not 
just the current code.  It is easy to use and has GUI interfaces as 
well.  I do work in two locations and have no central server, so bzr or 
something similar makes it very easy to keep the code synchronized.
   Another similar one is GIT, and I find some features of GIT nicer 
than bzr - such as being able to checkout multiple branches in one 
directory instead of having to have a separate directory for each 
branch.  So if you have an old version that you still maintain, or if 
you want to try some new experimental code, you can create a new branch 
and and work on that, but switch back to the old version with 'git 
checkout old_branch'  IMO this is nice because it keeps the directory 
structure from getting too cluttered.

I wouldn't even look at commercial options for what you need, as there 
are numerous good free and open-source programs that will do everything 
you need and much more.
