Hello Friends,

We are looking for best way to take backup of Metadata (Changes to Std obj, Custom objects, Apex code, Profiles, etc) from DEV to PROD?

We heard about below options:
1) Force.com IDE on Eclipse
2) Force.com ANT Migration Tool
3) Snapshot (not sure if this is paid)
4) Change Sets

Also, in all the approaches we only pushed changed items right?

Thanks,

What is standard approach to take backup to a folder on drive? We are looking for something where we can restore a specific object if need be.

Will we require to go for GITHUB along with one of the above 4 options.

Appreciate if someone can share from their experience and provide details on this.

Hello Friends,

Have a query regarding deployment process to be followed.

We have 3 environments - DEV, SIT and PROD.

1) We will have 8 releases from DEV to SIT in 3 weeks cycle. And we plan to use Change Sets for migrating the code.
2) Now when we need to do deployment to Production, what process should be followed?
     A) Will we deploy all 8 change sets to Production in same sequence as we did in SIT? Is this standard approach?
     B) Do we need to create a new change set keeping track of all objects which were changed from SIT to PROD?
     C) Is there any other  standard apporach which should be followed?

Appreciate all the help!

Cheers,
