We are looking for best way to take backup of Metadata
Hello Friends,
We are looking for best way to take backup of Metadata (Changes to Std obj, Custom objects, Apex code, Profiles, etc) from DEV to PROD?
We heard about below options:
1) Force.com IDE on Eclipse
2) Force.com ANT Migration Tool
3) Snapshot (not sure if this is paid)
4) Change Sets
Also, in all the approaches we only pushed changed items right?
Thanks,

Those are the best ways to take the backup of metadata. Among all the easist way is Force.com IDE where in you download the package.xml by selecting all the things that you want to take the backup.
Once we have all the XML/files downloaded, is it easy to restore a apex class, in case we see issues in new code on server?
Thanks,
You would not face any issues if you restore the same code (Vf,apex) in another Org, unless if there is anything that is inter-related to the edition wise that has been implemented in your earlier Org. Apart from that, you will not face any issues.
