NYCPHP Meetup

[David A.Roth]

Still being new to Joomla, I thought I better ask this question before 
I actually have to do it. :-)

I'm working with Joomla on a CentOS staging server. When the site is 
ready to be placed on a live RedHat server, what is the best way to do 
this?
Do I install Joomla on the live server and then copy over tar'ed 
directories from the staging server or is there a process to manage all 
this already available that I'm not aware of that people are using?

As for just plan old everyday backup, I was thinking of creating a tar 
of the home directory for Joomla. Does doing that capture everything 
needed?

By the way, I enjoyed meeting everyone at the NY PHP users group 
meeting last month as well as the Joomla presentation.
