Problem: A client has been entering list data in your QA environement and wants the data migrated into production.
Options:
1) Migrate the list using a list template. Navigate to the list > Under List tools select List > List Settings > Save list as template.
Limitation is that history is lost, created by and modified bu are also lost.
3) Bakup a list using CA or Powershell and restore the list, the restore will need to be done using PoweShell (there is no UI in CA).
4) Use a migration tool such as Metalogix, MetaVis, Quest, Tzunami, AveDoc from AvePoint, Idera. Personally I like Metalogix for SharePoint migration. The AvePoint tool is good and Quest I can vouch for for migrations. I believe all the tools are pretty good.

I also used the Metalogix tool, Migration Manager for SharePoint, and really liked it. Was better than the others I tried.
ReplyDeleteHaven't had the chance to use the Metalogix tool myself but have instead used Gary Lapointe commands:
