Simply put - because there's less that can go wrong. This way you are transferring the whole instance, so you're less likely to omit/forget any dependencies. I'm not even aware of any other way you can migrate users/groups and workflow items than this (or doing it manually, in which case it's easier to just transfer the whole DB, i.e. what I recommended). >> But there's here's just the tool for the job: >> https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Importing+Community+and+Collection+Hierarchy > I have tried using structure-builder before and had no luck figuring > out how to export my archive structure, is this even possible? Sorry, my mistake, I didn't read the whole docpage and my assumption that -o is for export was wrong. I only ever used this for import (obviously).
