Migrating Portal Objects
This chapter provides the steps you take to migrate (export
and import), back up, and restore portal objects.
- About Object MigrationObject migration lets you copy resources from one portal to another. You might want to do this for several reasons. You might have multiple portals to handle a global deployment or you might want to create multiple portals to separate development, testing, and production.
- Backing Up the PortalYou can back up your system without taking it offline.
- Restoring the Portal
- Rebuilding the Search CollectionYour search index might get out of sync with your database if, during the course of a crawl, the Search Service became unavailable or a network failure prevented an indexing operation from completing. Another possibility is that a Search Service with empty indices was swapped into an existing portal with pre-existing documents and folders.
