Hi, I am fairly new to Drupal and my team is building a site for a web design class. We are finding it very difficult to work on the site seperatly. Is there a way to migrate the site between virtual machines (Acquia)? We keep losing content, links and other module configurations.

Thanks for your time.

In the most basic of scenario you would keep a change log of your config changes, module installs, etc.

Then when you merge your code, you'll collate each dev's change log and apply the changes to your main dev site.

This is, however a RUBBISH way of doing it but as a bare minimum it will help get you through. Acquia and getpantheon.com do offer the automated migration tools you are looking for. You should also checkout the https://drupal.org/project/drush module (drush is installed on the good Drupal specific hosts).

This is as much about workflow as it is tech. Simple is better :-)
