Hi,<br />
<br />
You can use Backup and restore: Stsadm operations (Office SharePoint Server):<br />
<br />
To back up a site collection, you must use the following stsadm command.<br />
<a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287967.aspx" rel="ugc">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287967.aspx</a><br />
<br />
ex: stsadm –o backup –url &lt;URL of the site collection&gt; -filename &lt;Name of the backup file&gt; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
To restore a site collection, you must use the following Stsadm command.<br />
<a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288929.aspx" rel="ugc">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288929.aspx</a><br />
<br />
ex: stsadm –o restore –url &lt;URL of the site collection&gt; -filename &lt;Name of the backup file&gt; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
* for the restore you will need the same Content DB Name already available or you can use the [-newdatabaseserver] &lt;new database server name&gt; &nbsp;option to create one on the fly.<br />
<br />

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
