Take the 2-minute tour ×  The firm I work at keeps a copy of the
compiled source code on production.  So basically on our
Production server, we have two folders:    The Rollback folder
always contains one version older code. This is done so that on
deployment nights, if something is wrong with the new code, the
deployer(who is not familiar with source control software) has
the older version to revert back to.  My question is: Is there
an official computer science term/nomenclature for the Rollback
folder? Or is "Rollback" itself the official term?
share|improve this question "official"? Who defines "Official"?

taught anyway. –  Crazy Eddie Jun 20 '11 at 22:15 "...the
deployer(who is not familiar with source control software)..."
this is scary enough that I would not care what the directory is
called, and be more concerned with getting someone competent to
do the job. –  Jarrod Roberson Jun 20 '11 at 22:17  2 Answers 2
