[opencms-dev] Moving server, exporting project data

[M Butcher]

I noticed the exact same thing yesterday evening when I was doing an 
export through Database Management. I couldn't find a way to export 
projects. Also, it appears that the state information on the files is 
lost, as well.

I noticed that when I exported, it exported everything as it is in the 
Offline project, but looking at the manifest.xml, I can't see any 
metadata that flags some data as (for instance) locked and unpublished. 
Did I misread the file, or am I going to lose all of the state 
information when import?

I have been looking into using MySQL's mysqldump (actually, I was 
looking at the hotcopy util, but I can't remember what it's called right 
now) to dump the entire contents of the database. I can't think of any 
data that I would actually _lose_ by doing that.

Anybody have experience with either of these two methods of backing up?
