Export/Import a sharepoint list/document library

Question

I'd like to be able to export/import (or backup/restore) lists and document libraries only, with versionning and access rights.

If it is a custom list (deployed via feature), I understand that the feature needs to be deployed prior to import (or restore).

I can't use "save as template", as the list is too big to include content.

stsadm -o export doesn't seem to be able to do this. Is there an alternative ?

Answer 1

YOu can export a list by going to the list settings and then click the save as template link (you can choose to include / exclude content). The template is then usable for creating new lists, but can also be downloaded as an stp file.

Answer 2

The SharePoint Content Deployment Wizard should be able to do what you want.
