I’m running Sitecore 6.3.

I have a Sitecore Package which was originally wrongly created from the Web database instead of the Master database.

The database is long gone and I want to import this package into my new Sitecore instance, but run into the problem, that the Package gets directly into the Web database – whereas it is critical that it gets imported into the Master database instead.

I tried modifying the package manually by changing file names and references, but ran into problems when importing the package.

I discovered the Serialization feature of Sitecore 6.3, but it only allows me to de-serialize items which already exist, and in my case the Master database doesn’t have the item.

What is the best way to move items from Web database back to Master?

Thanks

    You can use the “Transfer Item to Another Database” feature, which you can find in the “Control Panel” -> “Database” menu.

    Just login to the Sitecore desktop, switch to the web database and open the mentioned dialog. It will ask you for the source items/node and a destination… that´s it 🙂
