Chris: simple question; *where* is the code?
The Portal server contains all the code (obviously) and it is backed up once every 24
hours by taking a snapshot of the VM, so if the hardware fails it can be recreated on
another server in the same DC. The database the Portal uses is a different VM on separate
hardware which is also backed up daily. All the snapshots are replicated offsite in case
of a site wide disaster.
I also have a copy of the code and database schema on my main desktop and my laptop, these
are clones of an SVN repo which is on a server in a different datacenter to the above VMs.
Although I am not actively developing the code anymore, I still use the SVN repo in case
anyone finds a bug which I can then fix and deploy to the live server.
