Hello!

I exported my portal with content from one server with DNN 5.4 and imported it on the other server with DNN 7.4.1. There was not any problem.

Then, I tried to do the same thing, but at that time, myPortal.template.resources file was about 1 GB big. DNN started importing it and rolling known circle, but nothing happened in 3 days. I tried again but without success.

Could please somenone help me to import so big portal to new DNN? Is there any other way? Thanks!

Have you thought about simply upgrading the 5.4 site to 7.4.1? 

DNN simply doesn't handle export/import of portals well.

I have to make two similar portals - so I exported one and tried to import this one - to have two of them.

Ah okay, well that makes sense.

Personally I would probably just backup/restore the site/db for the second one :D

I want to have more portals on the same DNN, so this is not an option.
