I have never been able to get the export tool (from the Tools menu) to
export XML correctly even with the "Format XML" box left unchecked. I
just tried this again to reverify (which took an entire hour for about
20-30 pages!) and there are still line breaks all through the paragraph
content (sometimes even in the middle of HTML tags).
This is definitely extremely undesirable. Even if re-saving the
paragraphs again worked, that is not a very good solution for a site
import with scores of pages and hundreds of paragraphs! It doesn't work
though, as the line breaks are turned into <br/>.
We use MySQL to store content, so right now our backup method is to just
make sure the MySQL databases are kept backed up. It would be nice,
though, to have a working XML export, too.

Just out of curiosity, how did you do the export?
I've seen the right-click export method create the "pretty" formatted
indented xml which does cause problems on import. Using the magnolia
export tool (Export from the Tools menu on the left in AdminCentral) and
then making sure the "Format XML" checkbox is clear always works for me.

It's even worse than I thought then, if it affects every backup-

I can tell that my paragraphs (pasted from word in fck) CANNOT be
"reconverted" by saving again the paragraph. I don't want to be too
critical, because magnolia CE is an open source tool, and a very
promising one, but a CMS that cannot be saved and restored, and in
the case of magnolia CE, that cannot be updated, is not ready for
production.

I remember this issue has already been reported in JIRA. Usually you
can "re-convert" those richtext-fields by clicking the responsible
dialog and save the data again. I don't think this behaviour isn't
caused by a different tomcat-version. Nevertheless this issue is a
big blocker for me...

Maintaining a site with magnolia proves to be a real nightmare.
The bugs in 3.0.1 forced me to update to 3.0.2.
I also downgraded from Tomcat 5.5.17 to 5.0.28, because of some
issues with table paragraphs, and because 5.0.28 is the version
magnolia ships with.
I exported everything and imported it back.
Most of the pages have problems now: line breaks appearing
randomly, tables created with fck editor which confuse content and
html, and so on...
What a mess!
Am I the only one to experience this?
At least we should be warned that one should not export and import
to magnolia instances running on a different version of tomcat...
What's the point with exporting to xml if everything gets scrumbled?
