Copying one folder from one Plone server to another one

[Alberto Lopes]

Dear fellas,

I have two servers with identical Plone 3.1.2 installations on both of them. I want to copy an entire folder (and only that folder) from server A to server B. We can assume that I am going to have the same userbase in both of them and same set of Products (and same versions). If that makes it easier, I could also assume use of only standard content types (although I would like to know what difference that would make supposing I have the same installation on both servers)

I checked the docs but couldn't find a simple tool for migrations like that. I saw some how-tos on how to backup entire sites or how to develop an script to migrate a specialized Content Type, but I just need something like a move this folder and everything below to that site.

Can anybody help me?

Best regards,

Albie

The best way to do this is to use the Import/Export functionality in the  
ZMI.

Is it? I did not use it for a while, but when I wanted, it used to fail.

We used to set up separated <zodb_db> sections on zope.conf, but that
made sense because we moved content from one site to another often.
