Hi Miranda I should've gotten this advice two weeks ago :-) I went with the normal export, which took me about 4 hours.
But its very good to know that the backup feature is faster and more robust that the exporting feature. Ill keep that in mind for the next migration. Thanks for your feedback.

I'm sorry you are also having problems with the export process, but it is nice to know we are not alone. :-) I tried Ryan Gardner's suggestion for using the "backup site" in the development tools rather than the export, and that seems to have worked like a charm. The XML is formatted properly and it only took 15 minutes to generate the files. I have had an export running for 9.5 hours now, and it's still not done!
