Not knowing what you plan to do with the existing install makes this hard to answer. My initial thoughts are to export all the content as ACP packages and import those into the new install or to point the new install at the old db and repository.

Thank you Jarret,

Where I can read more information about export content as ACP packages or how to point a new installation to an old repository?… My last repository wasn't working with any CMS, it's jus a system of shared folders.

Thank you.

Hi,

I misread your earlier post, so if I understand correctly you basically just have a shared folder somewhere. When I replied earlier I thought you were talking about two Alfresco repositories.

If you are indeed just working with a shared folder(s) you could just mount Alfresco as a network drive and drag-n-drop. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CIFS

If you wish to bring over your content with meta information there is a project called OpenMigrate that allows you to create an ACP package. http://www.tsgrp.com/Open_Source/OpenMigrate/open-migrate.jsp

Hope this helps
