using the tool, can you pick and choose virtuals and dump them into a like site, or do you have to move the entire site. the source gets the migration tool x86 install and the target gets the target install, does perl need to be on both, or just source? this tool does appear to be nice… work good? ---

All the migration tool does is transfer the source metadata to the target and then moves the files in the source directory to a specified target directory. there are a good bit of flags that you can change the IP, install FPSE and change port stuff like that. its good stuff though. build a bat file run and profit i have moved approximately 250 sites using this method during a server consolidation. it works great! just double check security settings when you are done! ---
