We are moving from a SBS 2008 server to a Windows 2012 server and have Sharepoint 2013 installed on it. &nbsp;How would I go about moving all the content from the WSS 3.0 to Sharepoint 2013. &nbsp;Could I just backup up the Sharepoint data and restore it to Sharepoint 2013 and keep the same companyweb site active on the new server. &nbsp;We will be removing the SBS 2008 and creating a new clean domain also.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

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.
