Moving site location

[MonaE]

Hello,

Is there an efficient way to move a site from on location to another? I tried to copy and paste all folders and files and it did not link all up. ie:

/departments/finance/accounting
move site (and all content) to
/departments/accounting

Thanks,
MonaE

Using the stsadm command line utility you can easily Export and then Import the website to a new site, sub site, or even a different farm. The utility is located here:

C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin

run the command "stsadm -o export" without the quotes to view the switches for the export command and "stsadm -o import" to view the switches for the import command. The default "stsadm -o export -url http://site/subsite -filename mysubsite.cab" should be sufficient to export the site, but you may want a little more granularity.

If you move it witout using stsadm utility your sites will not work.
