Hi Anthony, I had this problem recently and found that an export and import works the best.

I will be be moving content from my testing domain to a production domain I've read around that I should use stsadm backup and restore commands. Will this migrate all of the sites within the specified site collection and style libraries etc (will I loose the master page customisation)? To do this should I use a different procedure. Also wondering how it goes joining the new domain as it will have no way of authenticating against the old one? IMPORTANT - Please consider our environment before printing this email.
