Upgrade issues - complete export of everything?

[peterschen]

Hi,

as I have multiple issues getting my installation from 3.3.0 to 4.0.e I'd like to try something else. Is there a way to create a complete export of everything within my current installation, set up a clean new installation and get everything back into place?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks & BR
Chris

Hi peterschen,

set up a clean new installation and get everything back into place

I think you mean you want to your database and alf_data to be back into palce.

So, it will be best you test it yourself, you install new 4.0.e in somewhere test directory and put your old database and alf_data back and start server.

But, I am not sure how to restore database in production. 

It will be best if we have some tools to exports data from old one to newer one .

That doesn't work. For some reason or another I can't upgrade to 4.0.e (I tried very hard). So I'm looking for alternatives along the "clean install & restore" route.
