    What data is stored where? For git repository (repo) setup

    Hi, I've got the system files and folders document open, but am not sure I have all the information I need. My understand is that the "data" for an umbraco site is stored in both the database and in the web folder for the site. I'm setting up a git repository for version control on an umbraco project we are working on. What I'd like is a check list of what is stored where so we can be sure we have consistent restore points in the event of needing to roll back or branch a project. An example may help:

    I want to build up a table:

     

    IIS file / folder Umbraco Node Storage/source data type Backup / repostory
    App_Browsers
    App_Code
    App_Data
    aspnet_client
    bin
    config
    css
    data
    default.aspx
    emailTemplates
    images
    install
    macroScripts
    masterpages
    media
    Settings / Dictionary umbraco db Db backup
    scripts Settings / Scripts physical file git repository
    umbraco
    umbraco_client
    usercontrols
    web.config
    webservices
    xslt

    Hope this is clear?

    Hi Ian,

    All of your umbraco structure and content (document types, media types, content nodes, and property data) is stored in the database.  When you publish in the backend, the content gets written to the umbraco.config file as XML.  This doesn't need to be checked into source control though, as it will regenerate itself on App_Start if it doesn't exist.  The rest of the files are just physical files that don't have any relation to your content state.

    HTH,
    Tom
