Hi Hans, common strategy is to export content of all workspaces in xml and then put it in the bootstrap folder of the other instance. upon starting this instance all the content will be bootstrapped into repository by Magnolia (as long as the repo was empty before startup). In your case if you are reusing the test server, you would need to delete its repository prior re-bootstrapping it with new data. Also please keep in mind that if you use jsp for templates (or have any content in the mgnl-files folder of your modules) such files will be extracted from the jars into file system by Magnolia as well, so during the cleanup you need to remove them as well.
