    Hello,

I use DNN4.3.4 with SQL Server Express 2005 on Windows 2003 R2. I got a portal with my intranet site (portal ID 0) alias intranet. For Security and Backup reason i export the template to import it on a new server on which I make my test before making them on my production site.
So I export my template with the content to the files intranet.template
Then  I configure my second server, like the first one, extract the dnn4.3.4 package and before lauching the installation I modify the DNN directory\install\DotNetNuke.install.config and change the template to my intranet.template file and change the portalalias  to intranet.
I launch the installation but it breaks at the end, object reference ...

Any help would be great

Is there a procedure to make a backup server ?

Thanks

The modules in the Intsallation directory are those in defaults.
After the installation process i copy the DesktopModules Directory from the production portal to the new one but the error is the same

Thanks

please note, that the modules need to be present, when the template is processed
