I am hoping to find an easy tool or method, that allow's managing our code deployment.

Here are the features I hope this solution has:

1. Either web-based or batch file, that given a list of files, will communicate to our production server, to backup those files in different folders, and zip them and put them in a backup code folder.

2. Then it records the name, date/time, and purpose of the deployment.

3. Then it sends the files to their proper spot on the production server.

I don't want too complex an interface to doing the deployment's because then they might never use it.

Or is what I am asking for too unrealistic?

I just know that my self-discipline isn't perfect, and I'd rather have a tool I can rely on to do what needs to be done, then my own memory of what exact steps I have to take every time.

How do you guys, make sure everything get's deployed correctly, and have easy rollback in case of any mistakes?
