Publishing and Backups

Our company is in the process of deploying Windows SharePoint Services. Our
version is SharePoint Services 6.0.2.6568 (SP2). We have a development and
production environment setup. What is the best way to accomplish the
following?



Deploy/Publish from the development server to the Production server. What is
the best way to update the Production server from the development server?
When I setup the production server I used stsadm.exe to backup the
development server and restored the backup on the production server. This
worked out ok for me but I am unsure if this is the method I should always
take. What happens if I only would like to deploy an individual Team Site
(i.e. - http://sharepointsite/SiteOne) and not the entire SharePoint site?
Should I consider the Migration Tool?



Backup Sharepoint on a daily basis. What is the best way to accomplish
backups? We would like to backup SharePoint every night as part of our
standard backup procedure. Is scheduling the stsadm.exe backup the best way
to accomplish this? If so, I would assume that scheduling a batch script
would work. Does anyone know how to concatenate a timestamp dynamically via
a Dos command (batch).



Thanks in advance for your help.
