I have an ArcGIS Developer "Professional" license. Here are some ongoing notes as I work with it.

I also have a personal ArcGIS license so that I can access the full range of extensions in Desktop.

What's available

This is a partial list

  1. Desktop includes ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGIS Pro, and the commonly used extensions 3D Analyst, Spatial Analyst, and Network Analyst.
  2. Enterprise includes ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, and...
  3. Online includes an organizational account and credits so you can use it.
  4. Apps
  5. of course, developer support includes SDK's and Runtime.

Roadmap

  1. Put ArcGIS Server in Docker. See http://github.com/Geo-CEG/docker-arcgis-server Built on Ubuntu Server. Mostly done - I need to work out the VOLUMES settings.
  2. Put Portal for ArcGIS in Docker. See http://github.com/Geo-CEG/docker-portal-for-arcgis Built on Ubuntu Server. In progress
  3. Set up SQL Server in Docker (comes from Microsoft)
  4. Load some data.
  5. Confirm it is all usable from ArcGIS Desktop.
  6. Build a web site for internal use.
  7. Publish the data into ArcGIS Online.
  8. Create a web map and publish it.
  9. GeoCortex

Backups

Watch the video "ArcGIS for Server: High Availability and Disaster Recovery (2016)"

Read the manual.

ESRI provides backup tools to back up

  • settings
  • service configurations
  • Portal content and data store

The backup tool is called "Web GIS DR Tool" where "DR" = Disaster Recovery Sounds like the backup tool wraps everything in one output file.

Use your own procedures to back up cache tiles, data files and SQL databases.
