> This is actually solid development practice, something I've been doing > for years, and it's the way we managed development of Joomla (and > Mambo before it). If Git is too modern for you and you just gotta > stick with subversion, you can try one of these: > > * http://beanstalkapp.com/ > * http://unfuddle.com/ > > If you develop websites for a living and don't use some sort of source > code revision control, you're making a HUGE mistake. > > I setup subversion to run on a server - usually at ServerBeach - and > also provision that server with automated backups. I then checkout my > project on the local machine (laptop) where I do development. Whenever > I finish something, I simply commit, and that sends the new code up to > the subversion repository on the server, which in turn gets backed up. > I have a local external drive that I use for TimeMachine, more than > anything as a precaution in case my laptop gets too much coffee or > falls down the stairs late at night. > > In the end, the likelihood of the following all happening at the exact > same time is very close to absolute zero: > > * external drive fail > * laptop fail > * server fail > * datacenter backup systems fail > > And after some thought, if all these things failed at the same time > then I probably got bigger problems than some stupid website. > > -- Mitch > _______________________________________________ > New York PHP SIG: Joomla!
