Has anyone successfully imported a versionstore via ACP?

We're working through a problem importing an extremely large versionstore ACP file into a repository. As part of working through that, I tried a simple test as follows:

1. In a completely fresh repository, create a folder called "folder-1".
2. Add a piece of binary content to the folder.
3. Enable versioning for the content.
4. Upload two new versions (the number of versions is unimportant).
5. Export the folder using either the command line or the admin console.
6. Export the lightWeightVersionStore using the command line.
7. Shutdown and blow away the repository.
8. Use the command line to import the folder-1 and version store ACP files.
9. Start up the repository and log in. The content will exist, but the version history does not show up. The version store was imported successfully as evidenced by the node browser.

So the question is, what am I missing? Has anyone successfully used ACP files to essentially back up and recover a version store?

Hi,

I doubt that the answer will be "yes".  The import of the folders will have created new node IDs, if I'm not mistaken.  These won't match the tagged data in the version store.
