This may not be real helpful, but for a warehousing business, they thought it was nice.
I setup an NFS server from the business system (AIX 5.2) to the Web server (Fedora v8) and then setup a cron to copy the entire business system applications and data every night at about 11pm, which was when the database was unused by other processes, or anyone actually changing things. For the developers, I also created a web link to the source code (BP file) so they could, after entering a login and password, view the source code. Doing that saved the necessity of having to put a tape in the drive and waiting for a couple hours to see if a file was restored so they could see what it looked like before so-n-so edited things... This company didn't have a development server, so they did work on the live business system. Yeah, lame...
