Yesterday I told you I was going to do a export of my test farm with “stsadm -o export”. Here is how I did it.
First of all I have to say that the farm is installed with kerberos authentication. Don’t know if it is important but that is one of the “special” things about the [...]
At the moment I’m planning to do a export and import from my test SharePoint farm to the customers test farm. On previous projects I was always able to build the complete SharePoint farm directly at the customer site, now that was not possible. First I thought that this could be done with stsadm backup [...]
