Luckily I've used the backups to setup my testing environment so I know they're good! Can you recommend anything else I should start doing? Development journals? Version control system?
- Serow225 13y agoDefinitely set up revision control ASAP.
- jdsfighter 13y agoAny recommendations on the best, I have minor experience with SVN, and I've only used GIT for github related stuff. Everything here is windows based, everything. So I was even considering going with TFS, but I also have been thinking about using git out of its simplicity and robustness. Especially since I may be working from multiple computers.
- Serow225 13y agoWell the term 'best' is touchy, but for your use case I'd suggest trying SVN using something like VisualSVN Server and TortoiseSVN for the client(s). Simple to set up, understand and use.
- Serow225 13y agoAnother thing I just thought of is a health monitoring suite for your servers/network. Also starting to move towards virtualized servers makes dealing with both failed hardware and testing/rollout/rollback easier.
- jdsfighter 13y agoThey are very set in their ways when it comes to their severs, they wont even implement Active Domain services... So virtualization may be out of the question for now.
- Serow225 13y agoAre the servers on any sort of UPS to enable graceful shutdown if power goes out?
- jdsfighter 13y agoYes, the company I work for is an electrical contracting company, and specifically the branch that I'm working for is based inside a massive data center. So power wise, everything is golden.
