Once you try it, you will never go back.

If you are running Windows, the easiest setup by far is Subversion + 
TortoiseSVN. The biggest obstacle to some people is the fact that one needs 
to set up a repository, but with Subversion a repository can reside on the 
same hard drive as your project (it's really just a folder with some hidden 
files). You can literally create an empty repository with a right-click of a 
mouse.

For me, the biggest thing it did, was give me confidence when making changes 
to the code. Once I successfully compile, and committ the changes, I know I 
can always get back to this working base, even if I make a really really big 
mess. And I try to committ very often (sometimes, every few minutes).

Instead of saving copies of project directories, you can then use the "tag" 
command (and create as many version snapshots as you want).
