With regards to another post from Ian:

Question: 2. Could I take a backup of the DNN site on dev., ....

[/QUOTE]

You can certainly take a backup of the database and restore it elsewhere. DNN is an asp.net application like any other and allows for (relatively) easy movement. Make sure you backup the complete filesystem (the entire root of your website) and also the complete database. There are settings in your web.config that must match that of your database, so you can't go mis-matching the filesystem and database.


We are currently trying to complete a move to a new hosting provider and they are not yet prepared to restore the MSSQLDB.bak.

I have made adjustments to the connection string in preparation for the new DB.

What other steps can be taken to circumvent this pitfall or how do I repair if the restored DB fails?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

if you are using SQL Express, you may use file based connection which simply requires uploading the database to /app_data folder and adopting connection string accordingly (see template in release.config file).
