move portal server from development server to production

[Vantuykom]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can copy a full portal server installation (with users, sites, documents and everything) from my development server to the production server?

I've found something to in and export the doc-libs, but not the whole portal...

Thanks in advance

Hello,

well you could take a full backup of the Portal and then restore it on to the new server.

Hello,

There are built in tools that comes with SharePoint.
Go to

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...7f-7796-46f8-987b-fb94ef98a596&displaylang=en

and download the Portal Server 2003 Help file. There you have the information on how to backup and restore.

Thomas
