I am exporting a site using stsadm command. It is automatically exporting the subsites too. I need to take the current site only, how can I restrict the subsites?

For example I'm exporting the site, http://site1/subsite1

The subsite1 has 4 child sites. I need to avoid that 4 child sites from that export list.

The command I am using is stsadm -o export -url http://site1/subsite1 -filename c:\backup.cmp

In scenarios like this, I will export the desired site and it's subsites and import it to a dummy site collection. After it's imported, I delete away the unwanted subsites, export it again, and import it to the final location.

do you think it is right way. But no problem, i am asking whether it is the functionality of stsadm command. Or there is option for that. – John Oct 4 '11 at 13:15
I don't think there is an option to exclude subsites. – Kit Menke♦ Oct 4 '11 at 13:21
There isn't an option to limit the export to one particular subsite only. It will grab the entire tree of sites from that level down. – PirateEric Oct 4 '11 at 13:51
