Hi, Jason Export-import is a solution, BUT most possible it won't solve the problem: all access rights won't be copied as desired. Probably it would be better to split 4K pages into per-project (or else) basis and do it one by one. Otherwise it would be a big mess with access rights. I had a bit similar migration in a near past with a complex access rights system. Customer had 5 (!) sources of information we had to combine in one knowledgebase. One of them it was XWiki 2.5. First of all, we described a FULL infrastructure of existing and desired knowledgebase with all employees/clients roles, user groups and access rights. Then, according to requirements we developed wiki structure. Migration plan included the requirement, that we can't stop production at all. So, finally, we moved every project one by one, setting up corresponding access rights. Now it has 39+ subwikis (two of them are public) and 200+ users that are happy to use all power of XWiki :-) Thus, try to trace whole migration and probably, there are other solutions, then verbatim DB export-import.
