Hi Bob,

I did this succesffuly once on a raq2 many years ago, if i remeber open the
backup file in a text editor and do search and replace for the site number,
ie the root path to your site on your old server will be say
/home/sites/site78/web/ on your new box it may be site2 so you will have to
change the numbers round and try again.

Correct me please someone if im wrong.

Kind Regards,
