comment Delete a 60GB list
I was hoping SharePoint would be a bit trickier and delete items in batches, to make the DB easier to manage.

comment Delete a 60GB list
Cheers - yeah if SP does the delete in one transaction I will do it out of hours and get our DBA team to monitor the trans logs and as you say shrink the DB after the delete.

comment Backup via SharePoint or backup via SQL Server?
We do the same, but it is important to make sure the different environments have exactly the same SharePoint version (and same updates) installed.

comment Placing your branding images in the “14 hive” vs an Images list
Don't misunderstand me, to manage scope the HIVE can be the correct place to put branding image files. Just be careful that content that should be in Libraries doesn't get put in the Hive just because they don't want blobs stored in the content db.

Even images available from the hive are hard-coded: the only difference is that they can be relative too.

Did you do a SharePoint farm backup, or a content database SQL backup?
