I don't need to worry about workflows for this - which is great! OK. I've created the new collection and all is good. I've recreated groups manually and have decided to go with exporting subsite groups as opposed to the entire site collection. The reason for this (apart from the size) is that I want to bust the team sites out to their own site collections (hoping this is possible).
I'm really starting to see why keeping your site collections small is such a good idea/ Pity about the lack of cross-site web part support. I want to attempt the following site collection structure from the old Groups collection. Groups1 Groups1/team1 Groups1/team2 .. So, just a couple of questions: - Do I still need to setsitelock for the export command? - Will the import command successfully recreate the team sites at the site collection root?

If not, are there any limitations to the import/export command? None are stated. BTW Sezai, Nathan et al, the new site collection works like a charm and has none of the permission or access issues being experienced in the other one. I believe something went screwy with the security groups in the original import.

However I have had it fail a few time due to app pools being recycled or people accessing the site (or even a search crawl). Do you need to restore it or are you just backing it up? If it's backup, it's probably easier to backup the SQL database itself. Much quicker and safer. Just make sure the site is locked at the time though. ________________________________ From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozm...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Friday, 12 June 2009 9:05 AM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: Backup over 15GB using built-in tools Hi all, I've got a site collection I want to backup but MS advise that stsadm backup operation shouldn't be used for site collections larger than 15GB. Does this limit only apply to site collections? i.e. is it safe to backup the entire web app instead?
