If you just want to export one whole SG, that's no problem with
xsg. See above and in xsg.conf for details. For the re-import
it's important that you can't simply give repligard a sitegroup
name to import into but need to supply the right username
(including a login delimiter and a sitegroup, if necessary in
your setup) and password in repligard.conf.

Please be aware of a note that's quite 'hidden' in the repligard
documentation on http://www.midgard-project.org/ -- if you're
using your own 'links' (repligard terminology) between records
(an article.icon field pointing to a related article, for
example), you'll have to modify your repligard.xml definition
file in order to preserve those links during the migration!
