We’re in the process of consolidating two sites onto one server.  What is the best way to move the EE posts from one server to another without overwriting the existing database?  Dumping the database to a text file and inserting it on the other server?  I couldn’t find an export/import utility, but that would be my first choice.

I’m not sure about dumping/inserting, I’m not good with databases - but it could very well overwrite the original info.

You could Export your entries into MT format and then import them on the other site.

I wasn’t sure if there was an export utility.  Will we lose any information?  We had a problem when we moved to EE that all the old posts we imported were labelled as authored by the person that did the importing, not the person who wrote the post.

The export templates I made preserve the author, but they can export any field/information in a post, you can modify them as necessary. =)

You can bring over comments using that, as well, but not trackbacks - so if you have trackbacks you may lose those.

We don’t use trackbacks, so no problem.  Thanks!
