Export and Import of lists overrides views

Question

I need to move one list data from old environment to new but keep the views on the new server. I tried exporting and importing list, but it removed all the views I created on new environment. is there any way to back-up and restore of data with a list?

thanks

I believe the PowerShell cmdlets "export-spweb" and "import-spweb" will bring the views along with them. For example...

# To export
export-spweb -identity $srcweburl -path "\\server\c$\BackupDir" -itemurl $listname -confirm -force -haltonerror -includeusersecurity -nofilecompression;

# To import
import-spweb -identity $tgtweburl -path "\\server\c$\BackupDir" -confirm -nofilecompression;
