This will archive changes we make to the source members. We will always
be able to see before and after images of the source members if we need
to.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest you look in to a version control system (VCS) for your files. There are quite a few to choose from. You can choose free or proprietary, no-cost and commercial.

Subversion, for example, has the benefit of saving only the differences between files when you add a new revision. If you have any large source files where you routinely make small changes (I'm thinking of things like menus and 'work with' panels), you may find that saving the entire source file each time adds up to a lot of space quickly. Another benefit is that such systems usually have good tools for visualizing what has changed between versions.

Aaron Bartell has some articles and code available that could help you out if you decide to use Subversion: http://www.mowyourlawn.com/SystemiSVN.html
