Restore a site from test to prd

When restoring a site to another environment you need to first create a site with the same template the site was originally created it.

Once you have a site created you can use stsadm -o import
-url http://url -filename c:\Location of File

When importing a site that has the publishing feature enabled at the SC level you must first activate the feature and then do the import.

If not you will see an error stating "Warning: The Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature must be activated at the site collection level before the Publishing feature can be activated.Progress: Importing Feature PublishingWeb"
