I've used both cvs and sourcesafe for versioning, source-control and backup, but I now stick to sourcesafe: I don't like a bajillion things about cvs, even allowing for the fact that it's written by the french.

I use XAMPP for all the general local stuff (and would recommend it to anyone - it's bloody marvellous) which, I suppose, would be termed Dev or Dev/Test. Then Production is the live site, which is hosted somewhere else, and I just FTP the files up there. So really the local environment is Dev and the Live site is Production. I don't see the point in getting any more complex than that... I do web development on my laptop and/or PC, but don’t bother with Dev/Production.
