Patrick,

	IIRC, Alex Kandzior once said that DB backup and import does not always 
work reliably with OpenCms, at least for the purpose of migrating 
between servers. I do not recall the reason.


Chinya,

	See my email (to this list) sent on 17 December 2004, "Best way to 
migrate opencms - See prior emails."

	The quick and easy way to make the migration would probably be to put 
all of the data into an OpenCms (OC) module, export the module (which is 
a single file), and then import the module into the second OC server.
