Hello,

When exporting a list using stsadm does the export also include workflows that are attached to the list? (OOTB or SharePoint Designer)

For example: 

stsadm -o export -url http://URL/SITE/test/Lists/ListWithWorkflow/ -filename c:\temp\MyListExport.cab

Thanks,

Chad

stsadm -o export does not include workflow instances/associations/history/tasks. You'll need to use stsadm -o backup to preserve workflow instances (but it's at site collection level).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. What is the best way using cmd line tools, to move a workflow from one farm or site collection to another? Thanks again, Chad

Hi dahcjohnson

There are no OOB command to move workflow instances except stsadm -o backup. You'll need to go with 3rd party migration tools if you are looking this feature at site/list/library level.
