Would someone
explain to me how the file system and database for Umbraco interacts or works?
If I should migrate a “newer” version of the database to an old copy of the
file system(or vice versa), what will be affected. Would the site still work?
Also, what is
stored in the database, and what gets stored on the file system(e.g. CSS,
scripts, etc?). Any information or link to documentation would be appreciated.
As far as I know there are no changes to the umbraco database whitin the same major version. you should have no problems migrating your code base and templates from a version 4.0 to 4.0.3 or 4.1 (when it is released).
Stored in file system: Templates (asp.net MasterPages), Macro code (asp.net usercontrols and XSLT files), Custom DataType code, CSS, JavaScripts
Stored in umbraco database: Content of course, Template definitions, Document Types, Macro definitions, Custom DataType definitions, Style definitions for the Rich Text Editor.
Forgive me if I am forgetting something, but these should be the most important.
