Hi,

We are trying to do a migration of Sharepoint Services V2.0 from one server
to another.

Run smigrate to do a migration of the database and website, this appears to
work, it backups and compresses all the files into a .fwp format. When we do
a restore it becomes apparent that not everything has been backedup
correctly. large chunks of the website are missing and no users or
permissions have been transferred.

The command i am using to back is smigrate.exe –w http://server/site –f
C:\companywebbackup\companyweb.fwp -u user_name -pw password

To restore smigrate.exe -r -w http://server/site -f
C:\companywebbackup\*.fwp -u user_name -pw password

Everything on the backup shows it has worked and is running at around 8GB,
when I do a restore it shows errors and has data missing which clearly means
it has not backed up correctly. There has been chat about moving the SQL
Database as a different option, is this viable.

If anybody has any ideas I would appreciate them as my company relys on this
Service and the existing server is falling apart so it has to be done.
