Back up / restore
Hello,I want to move one site collection to the sub site of the other site collection. Can it be possible with restore command? If yes, send me the command. I know it is possible with import / export but not sure about back / restore.Thanks,Vatsal.

Sorry, that's not possible with STSADM's Restore operation. You must restore a site collection backup made with STSADM into a SharePoint environment as another site collection, it cannot be translated into a web (subsite) within another site collection.

I hate to always be saying no, but again that's the case. You can't go any more granular w/ STSADM's Backup operation than a site collection, so you can't use it to target a web (or subsite) within a site collection. You can target webs with the Export operation, but you can only import those webs to other webs, not to site collections.
