Hi there,

 I would like to know how to move a top site collection under another one. The situation is as follows:

* under http://mysharepoint:port1 there is a site collection

* under http://mysharepoint:port2 there is another site collection

Well, I need the site collection in http://mysharepoint:port1 to be a subsite in http://mysharepoint:port2

Any help will be appreciated  THANKS!!

You should be able to do it with Import / Export commands from stsadm

export--

stsadm -o export -url "http://mysharepoint:port1/" -filename "d:\sitebackup\sitebackup.bat" -includeusersecurity -versions 4

Import --

stsadm -o import-url "http://mysharepoint:port2/sitecollection/subsiteurl/" -filename "d:\sitebackup\sitebackup.bat" -includeusersecurity -updateversions 2

Obviously replace the URL string with your actual URL you want to backup and restore. I have used this several times to do what you are asking for.

 Hey!

THANKS!
