best method to transfer to another archiving system

best method to transfer to another archiving system
Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:22:08 -070
Hi.

I've used SS for many years (on version 6.0c) build 9447 now) . Now
I'm told it is not longer allowed.
A remote site has pvcs.

I need to zip up my SS database and send it to them, but... it is
fairly huge.
So.. I need to 'clean' it up.

I have several branches I can remove, but I'd like to keep the
'working' version in place.

What is the best way to export a single branch to a totally new empty
SS database that I can hammer on to get in good shape for zipping and
shipping?

In the admin utility there is an archive and restore feature.  You can 
archive the branch you want to export, then use the admin utility to create 
a new, blank database and restore the archive to it.
