1. Go to the source site and create a folder in the C: drive (for example, BackupData). This folder will contain all backup files.
2. Open Notepad and copy the following text:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

   <MapPack xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

   <SiteToSites>

   <anyType xsi:type="SiteToSite">

   <OriginalSite>/formex</OriginalSite> //Specify the relative path of the source site.

   <NewSite>/forms</NewSite> // Specify the relative path of the target site.

   </anyType>

   </SiteToSites>

   </MapPack>

3. Save this file as an .xml file (for example, migrate.xml) in the backup folder.
4. Under Start Menu, All Programs, and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products, launch SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
5. Run the command:

   stsadm -o export –url http://vwis116k:4007/formex -filename C:\BackupData\BackupFile.bak

   Any name can be given to backup file. It will create a backup of SharePoint site data.
