Maintaining and Migrating Between Environments

Quick discussion topic- what are people doing to maintain multiple security environments, and migrate changes between them? This seems to be something that's very custom from one organization to another, and we've yet to see a list of best practices emerge aside from the obvious (BACK UP EVERYTHING!).

One sets it to ?

It would be a big performance improvement if authentications were cached... That said I have noticed negligible performance improvement with the AZ cache.

Thanks for any information. Versions are V6SP5CR32 and R12SP3.
