Right now, the devs all have a their local dev environments with a snapshot of the production database - which they can twist, churn and beat up the data without affecting anyone but themselves.
These snapshots are starting to get large, and a data import of them is starting to take close to an hour.
Any better recommendations at maintaining dev data? The dev data can be ripped apart for potential changes, and then need to be put back together if a change idea was bad, etc.
