how do people manage a separate development server and a production server
-
Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how people manage to have a separate development server and a production server environment when they do SharePoint development. There are some obvious ways of deploying Web parts but how do you synchronize a Site or a Site Collection where you do things like customizing a Document Library by creating some Site Columns in a content type hub for instance. I mean you can't always do changes in a live environment right. So please elaborate a bit on this. Kind regards,

When you have a development server all new features will be installed there first and after they work fine, they'll finde their way to the production server. So the except for the content, the features are the same. If you need the same content, you can clone the production server instead of installing a development server, make backups from the production server and restore them to the development server. But I wouldn't see, why you should do that. You never need all the content to test, do you?
