Re: Migrating from one PC to another

I think you are making progress. Try going into central admin and deleting
the first portal you had set up. Maybe you are trying to reuse its name and
that is confusing sharepoint. So before you start the restore there should
be no portals on your machine. Have you read this section from the help
guide?

Restore a Portal Site from the SharePoint Portal Server Data Backup and
Restore Program

Note Some information for the portal site is not restored, and must be
configured after restore has completed. This includes proxy settings, the
configuration database, e-mail settings, and various registry settings
described in the documentation.



1.. Create a virtual server on Server B.
2.. On Server B, on the taskbar, click Start, point to All Programs, point
to SharePoint Portal Server, and then click SharePoint Portal Server Data
Backup and Restore.
3.. In the Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Backup and
Restore window, click the Restore tab.
The Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Backup and Restore
dialog box opens.

4.. In the Manifest file box, specify the location of the manifest file.
You can also click Browse to find the location of the manifest file.
The manifest file is the XML file that is in the directory that you
specified for the backup files when you backed up the server. The file name
is the prefix you specified for the backup file names. For example, if the
file name you specified as the prefix for the backup file names was
Adventure, the name of the manifest file would be Adventure.XML.

5.. In the tree view, expand Available components by clicking the plus
sign, and then click All server farm components.
6.. Select the SITEDBS component, and click Edit.
7.. Specify the virtual server created in the first step, the URL for the
portal site, and the database server name and database names for the site
database, the user profile database, and the services database. Click OK.
8.. For each TEAMDBS component:
1.. Select the component, and click Edit.
2.. Specify the database server name and database name for the TEAMDBS
component, and then click OK.
3.. Make sure the check box next to the component is selected.
9.. For each INDEX component:
1.. Select a component, and click Edit.
2.. Specify the content index server to use for this component.

Note The backup image corresponding to the job server must be restored
to the current job server in the server farm. The server for that component
is selected for you and cannot be changed.


3.. Make sure the check box next to the component is selected.
10.. After every component is selected, click Restore.
All databases are restored, the portal site is created, the team databases
are added to the virtual server, and all content indexes on the appropriate
servers are restored.
