The quickest and most efficient way to maintain a Drupal installation is in my opinion to install and update it via cvs. It looks complicated to start with but my experience is that when you get used to it you don’t want to do it any other way.

I will assume you already have cvs installed or otherwise know how to do it on your server. You also need to have shell access and be familiar with the command line. If this is not true you better stop reading :-).
