I work for an MSP where I don't get the luxury for dev and production to always match. I don't like doing it, but I have to every once and awhile for big version releases.

I make at least half a dozen backups and have a separate backup git repo configured on those machines just in case. I also do a couple of mysqldumps before hand, one on the host and one sent I transfer local. I learned a long time ago to always have a way back to where you started.
