I've a nice set of documents at mySIte1.org that I need to move to MySite2.org. These have a common DNN Host. It seems this can be done ready simply by zipping up the documents from the 1st site (maintaining the directory structure) and unzipping to the second. I guess I would lose any metadata (authors, upload date) and special permissions and perhaps anything that has been marked for soft or hard deletes, but those aren't too problematic in my case. Anything else to consider with this approach? Is there an alternative: e.g., a SQL query to change portal 2 to 3 perhaps?

I am running latest version of DMX, and all documents are within DMX.

There is no easy way to port things over. In large part because all of DMX's data is wired to DNN generated IDs for users, roles, etc. These are not the same in the two sites. So the only thing you can do is export (there's a script under Run Scripts) and import (create folder and on folder menu select import). Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
