copy PROD back to DEV periodcally - how?

[TheWkndr]

We're just getting going on CRM 3.0 and are looking for a way to periodically refresh our development environment with production - data and scripts/setup. Our vendor has thrown the redeployment tool at us as their solution. Completely starting from scratch every time you want a refresh doesn't seem like a very good option to any of us here.

Does anyone periodocally refresh their DEV environment with PROD?

You could restore a backup of the PROD database onto your DEV database.
