Then I don’t suppose it’s a major issue. You’d just need a backup of public_html (or WWW folder, whichever is used) like is probably being done now, and a dump of whatever db is used for the cms. Since there is already a dump of the wiki db, it would just be an extra one of those for the cms

My (limited) experience is with drupal as well. Regarding your first question (how to map version management on a cms driven website): usually only the cms code, modules and themes are version managed. The data resides in a database which is not well suited for version management. So code,
