I have Sharepoint2010 Enterprise, and SQL2008 on Windows Server2008R2.
I'm new to sharepoint Platform, im trying to move sharepoint 2010 from old server to new server.
On existing Sharepoint2010(Old Server) I have One Site collection on a Web app, lets say ABC on Sharepoint-80 Webapp.
I have installed Standalone Sharepoint2010 on new server. Do i need to create a site on New sharepoint2010 and restore the sitecollection backup? If yes how do i dot it with powershell? Can i restore with SQL backups?
I have tried Restoring Sitecollection backup on new server(Test Environment) from Powershell but it gives me an error saying
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Restore-SPSite http://win-7ts0u9r9dai:8080/sites/Tcs -Path Site C:\Soft\SP backups\Site collectionSiteCollection.bak -Force Restore-SPSite : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument ' C:\Soft\SP'. At line:1 char:15 + Restore-SPSite <<<< http://win-7ts0u9r9dai:8080/sites/Tcs -Path Site C:\Soft \SP backups\Site collectionSiteCollection.bak -Force + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Restore-SPSite], Parameter BindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.SharePoint .PowerShell.SPCmdletRestoreSite
I want to restore total SP and settings. Please Explain me how to move sharepoint 2010 to new server in Plain English. (plz Correct me if i'm wrong)
Thanx in advance.
