Hello I want to be able to back & restore of subsite in same application, or in another application, or another server. I want to make backup of site and restore it whereever I want :) ThanksMomo

I have used STSADM –o import and STSADM –o export it works for backing up an individual subsite though it does not keep any of the Metadata. this means that it will not copy `lastModefiedby` etc .. SharePoint treats this command almost like a copy on a file system. stsadm.exe -o export -url http://localhost/en/momo -filename C:\momo\subsite.cab -includeusersecurity -versions 3 -overwrite stsadm.exe -o import -url http://localhost/en/newMomo -filename C:\momo\subsite.cab -includeusersecurity Mohamed Hachem :)Momo

If the purpose is to copy an entire site collection the best operation would be back/restore as follows: stsadm -o restore -url http://Momozito.com/ -filename C:\Backups\Mysite.bak -overwrite stsadm -o backup -url http://Hadzic.com/ -filename C:\Backups\Mysite.bak –overwrite Smiles Mohamed Hachem
