Hello, We have a Sharepoint 2007 site collection roughly 36 GB in size and have been having problems moving the site to a new server farm (Also 2007). We are trying the Sharepoint backup and restore method, but I understand that this method is not recommended for sites over 5GB. Has anyone moved a site of this size and how did you do it? Thanks Ron

Yes, i moved the more then 5 GB site collection from one server to other without any problem. Just make sure you have enough space on the drives. 2nd thing is you can move the content Db from one server to other. backup of the content db. detach it from current farm(if you dont want these site on this farm). move backup file to new farm then restore the content Db attach the content db to web app. and test your sites.
