I have 2 large farm ((2 web front ends, index, sql 2000) x 2)
SharePoint environments - production and development. I want to ask all
the esteemed MPVs here for best practices recommendations (articles,
blog entries) that cover how to "synchronize" the farms. The idea is to
have both environments as similar to each other as possible. While I
have my own ideas (for example, copying databases over on a weekly
basis, or shipping logs), it would be nice to see what other
suggestions you have.
