  • Only problem with with a source code repository it does not back up the database or any user uploaded files etc Commented Jul 13, 2011 at 23:21
  • True. But you can creata a dump file of your database and add it to the repository. You could even write a script to make that an automatic process. With database or without, it's at least one more place to have your code and assets backed up to, with the primary benefit of version control on all that stuff anyway. Commented Jul 14, 2011 at 12:55
  • Unfortunately we don't use version control. In fact, before I started here, all work was done on the live site! I was able to get a development environment set up locally so at least that practice is officially dead. Commented Jul 14, 2011 at 17:18
