Hello and thanks for reading, I probably already know the answer but here goes anyway. We are moving over to a new Global site at my company and it is imperative that the documents do not lose the attributes - For example "date", "modified by" etc. I have tried (I think) everything: open with Windows Explorer and creating a list template loses which also loses the original attributes. I cannot use SharePoint Designer because our company has blocked the use. Site Collection and Structure is the only tool that keeps all the attributes but it is used for only moving within the site. Other then going with a third party software eg. Metalogix is there anything else that I can look at? Please advise, thanks.

Ricky, You can use SPContentDeploymentWizard available in codeplex to compress the document library and restore using the same wizard. Thanks VV
