What I do is assign a post-scene command in povray.ini which archives
the current file, or the current directory, or whatever I need
archived, in a way which supports revision tracking. On Linux I use
CVS and on Windows/DOS I use UltraCompressor, which supports multiple
versions of the same file in an archive (i.e. revision tracking :) ).
Saved a lot of hair in the past.
