    Default Moving Live Site to a New Server

    We are moving our LIVE site to a new server. I created a new install of AspDotNetStorefront and a new, empty database. My web.config file is working and I am transferring my Web files to the new site with no issues.

    I am having a problem moving the databases. I thought I could just do a backup and restore on the new server - but that isn't working. SQL Express will not let me restore from a different database.

    Is there a tool or script to copy data from my current LIVE site and upload it to the new site?

    Thanks in advance.

    Actually, I may have figured this one out. I was getting an error in SQL Express that said I couldn't restore a backup from a different database. I changed the options to 'replace existing files' and it worked.

    I am now waiting for all of my web files to FTP to the new server so I can (hopefully) start some testing.

    This is the first time I have actually tried moved the site and I was not the one who set up our original site - so I am encountering some issues - but not as many as I had anticipated.

    Thank you for your reply -
