I have been using smigrate routinely now for a few months, buttonight I had unusual results-- with a bigger site-- approx 500MB in size.I issued this command to create the 'backup pachage':C:\smigrate\smigrate.exe -wcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demobilization -fc:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome.fwp -y >c:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome.logInstead of one fwp file, 4 were built:AGPPT2_try2_fromhome.fwpAGPPT2_try2_fromhome1.fwpAGPPT2_try2_fromhome2.fwpAGPPT2_try2_fromhome3.fwpOne error was indicated in log file : Server error: couldn'tsend 'Shared Documents/Filenet Final Indexes.mdbI then issued the 'restore' cmd, one foe each 'package':C:\smigrate\smigrate.exe -r -wsptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob -fc:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome.fwp > c:\backups\AGPPT_new_locale.logC:\smigrate\smigrate.exe -r -wsptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob -fc:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome1.fwp >c:\backups\AGPPT_new_locale.log1C:\smigrate\smigrate.exe -r -wsptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob -fc:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome2.fwp >c:\backups\AGPPT_new_locale.log2C:\smigrate\smigrate.exe -r -wsptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sptupcpai.conocophillips.net/.../AGPPT_Demob -fc:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome3.fwp >c:\backups\AGPPT_new_locale.log3The first one ran OKThe other 3 gave this very appreviated log file:15 Mar 2005 22:05:31 -0900 Site collection opened15 Mar 2005 22:05:33 -0900 Site openedProgress: c:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome1.fwp has order 1 but waslisted in order 015 Mar 2005 22:05:33 -0900 ERROR (possibly fatal):ERROR: 131180 c:\backups\AGPPT2_try2_fromhome1.fwp has order 1 butwas listed in order 015 Mar 2005 22:05:33 -0900 Site closed15 Mar 2005 22:05:33 -0900 Site collection closedAnyone ever seen multiple fwp files created before when usingsmigrate??????
smigrate automatically spans multiple files if you reach a certain size limit - you should notice that all the files except the last one are the same size. Just keep them all together, and when you do the restore you only have to target the first file and it will automatically load the others - you do not have to restore them seperately. About the error - certain files are not backed-up through smigrate (some of the filetypes that are normally blocked by WSS). I believe the Access file (mdb) you tried to backup fits this criteria. Anyone have a list of file types that smigrate will/will not backup?
I feel better now-- but--you say "you should notice that all the files except the last one arethe same size."----My files are this size---33 MB29 MB23 MB18 MB(in order of creation)As they are created, they get smaller.Any comments please??
Al the files in my sites are usually very small word files etc. I'm presuming that you are dealing with files a bit larger in size and also presuming that the size difference is just the storage space difference required to make sure files don't get split up. Maybe I should have said "similar" sized I wouldn't worry about it.
