Hi all.

One of my project portals needs to be moved to a completely new, dedicated server.

Are there any tools, guidelines, how tos, etc, on just how to go about doing this?

I will obviously create the new server to be as similar to the existing one as possible. I can install the same versin of DNN and the same desktop modules.

What pitfalls, problems and what not am I likely to come across?

It would be nice if there was an export your potal management application out there. Anyone know of anything?

Much obliged....

you can make use of portal templates (wiki page http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/tabid/1409/Page/Portal-templates/Default.aspx ) if all your modules support IPortable. Many people also simply copy the entire install and then delete the unrequired portals, allowing the database referential integrity to "clean-up" the data. There are also a few portal migration tools available from snowcovered.com

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

I was not sure if the template thing would work when moving to another server entirely...

Also, I could not actually find anything on snowcovered other than tools for exporting users. Any actual product names spring to mind?

Thanks

just had a look and can't find any myself, I guess the companies involved discontinued them.
