Yes, i think professional and onwards of visual studio can use the feature of source safe as long as you have a licence of source safe installed.

Visual Source Safe is not a very good backup/source control utility in that it quite often corrupts it's own archive files.

It's not the cheapest option, but I might suggest Microsoft Visual Studio Team System which is touted to be the replacement for Visual Source Safe (which I never really rated). From all accounts it's (conceptually at least) like a "Microsoft Visual Studio Server" which I imagine has far greater ability to be included in backup and disaster recovery solutions. I can only speculate just now as I've not had the opportunity to play with it yet.

I personally use the tried and true: Keep all my work on my USB key which is set to auto-sync with my desktop machine at work when I connect it up - I created a little FileSystemWatcher service utility that automatically synchronizes my desktop machine with my personal directory on the server at the office. The server is physically in another location and gets backed up every night so at any given time there's 3 copies of my work. One on my USB key, one on my desktop machine at the office and one on the server at a different location. Consequently if anything happens to the server, I've still got 2 failsafes, chances of all 3 corrupting are incredibly slim.

At work I currently use Subversion and TortoiseSVN both of which are free and both of which seem to work quite well indeed.
