ROFL I never thought someone seriously would go the whole way from dev, test and prod servers AND use all the version control stuff. Honestly: I use dev servers and two backup servers for our company website, but having a version control system and everything would, in my opinion, really make this whole being a developer some kind of ... ugh. Might be good to do, I don't know. Never tried, and probably never will. And being a "good IT professional" to me means: know what you're doing, and take the hits you get. Lost your data? Well, there is a hit to take. But pointing fingers has never helped anybody. 2 Cents from germany Chris
