Currently my nightly script copies the existing 1.4.0 as a backup
version before it compiles the newer (by one day) version. I use
this for comparison purposes to spot the presence of any changes.
I can add a further backup of the backup to get a two day old
version or simply add another backup once a week in a separate
script.

I have plenty of disk space.
