ok...i have a live site that is running 04.09.01 and i have the latest version of 5 installed on a dev machine. i like the 5 version and would like to upgrade my live but im afraid it will either crash or cause alot of errors. if i upgrade to the new version i think i'd be better off starting a fresh clean install and importing all my content and pages. can you export/backup an entire site (user's incluided) and import them? i know you can export pages but that is a pain with a site over 20pages and multiple skins. obviously i know all the skins needs to be there in order for them to work. im just lookin for the easiest way to do this

Tom,

The first release of DNN 5.0.x had a few bugs, however, version 5.1.1 is a stable release, and something that I would be comfortable using in production.
