Hello,

I need to export / import portals one by one (and not entire DNN instance).
Can you tell me if exists a module (or another solution) to Backup / Restore a portal of a DNN instance, because my goal is to duplicate a portal (by exporting / importing it) and transfert it to another instance of DNN (the first and second instance are in the same version 4.5.X). If there is no existing module, is there another solution ? What is the best way to do it ?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you, but my goal is to export just one portal and not the entire instance of DNN. I need to duplicate a site (with all the content), this site duplicated is the perfect copy of the first, with just another PortalID and another TabIDs and ModuleIDs.

While I agree that it would be GREAT if someone could come up with something like this, there are a couple of huge obstacles that need to be overcome:

- For exporting, any export script would have to find each record in each table in the underlying database that belongs to a specific portal.

- For importing, due to primary keys (often auto-incremented integers), the import would have to make sure it wasn't duplicating any primary keys that were already in use and then adjust the values to make sure that the data matches up.

Depending on the modules that you've used, you might be able to create a template from the portal, copy the template files to the new instance, then create the site on the new instance using the template.
