TFS Express - Basics of source control.

Hi,

I am a single developer wanting to manage my source code better.

I have created a Team Foundation Server (express) account online. I have connected my Visual Studio 2012 to this server. I have checked in one of my existing projects.

I want to use this as an automatic backup and rollback mechanism in case I make a mistake in the project.

How do I set it up so I can roll back my project to the last build I did 2 days ago?

Thank you

I will generally only update my applications every few weeks. Changes normally take me only a few hours.

After some reading I see changesets are created when something is checked in.

So should I hold off checking anything in until my changes are completed? Or do you periodically check things in (even if your not done) to create a save point.
