Hi guys.
There is a site http://webapplication.company.com/site. It is a regular site in site collection (aka subweb, sub site etc.). I need to move this site and it's subsites into another content DB and to preserv all links, so all content and sites and all that stuff could be accessible using old links, so no one notice any changes.
What I have figured out is this:
1) Create a new Content DB
2) Export the site using stsadm -o export
3) delete this site from SharePoint
4) Create a new site collection and place it the new DB created in step 1
5) Import the site from file using stsadn -o import
But I have several concerns:
1) Is the order of steps described above is OK?
2) I assume that after import the site would have an address http://webapplication.company.com/site/site. First <site> is from site collection created in step 4 and second <site> is imported site from step 5. Am I right? If yes then how this can be changed? I need all links to be preserved and nothing changed from users point of view.
I am SharePoint newbie so any help will be appretiated.
