Deployment

Hi,
I have all my customizations in my development server.
Now i want to take all my customizations in to production server.
What is the best thing that i have to do?
Is bundle is the only way to do this?
If i take a backup from my development server and restore it in production server then will all my customizations be there?
If i backup the development database and restore it in production database then will all my customizations be there?
What about the snapshot?
Thanks
-Pandi.

Depends on your setup.
If your Production environment is separate from your Development environment then yes, you should bundle your changes across, rebuild, deploy and test on Production (to ensue that all your customizations and settings make it over to the new environment).
If your Dev environment is just a separate Deployment from your Production environment, then just need to rebuild it and deploy.
If you are trying to seed your production environment, then yes, a Backup of the DB may be the best bet, as you may have all of your items properly customized (e.g. Picklists, Custom Fields and Entities, etc). |

By seeding it I mean to create your initial Production envrionment.
For that purpose, backup is indeed a good option.
You may however want to do the following:
- Modify the Site Code for the Production database (instead of just using the default U6J9).
- Reset the SiteKeys table accordingly
- Remove any test data
- Create your Users and Owners
- Configure Security (Including Calendar Security)
- Setup Default Option values (if applicable)
There are probably more steps that you would want to take, but these are just a few that I usually add to my deployment lists.
