Hi Mike

10. Forgetting to back up
Very important! We do nightly database dumps that are stored in our office (DB servers are not in our office) keeping every day for the last week, every week for the last month and every month for the last three. Being in the office we can easily import them on a development server and manually recover rows when clients do silly things.

Have you considered storing deltas of the database in source control? It would allow you to roll back to any version of the database. Not sure how well/efficiently it would work with binary output though.

Todd.
