SP2010 Export/Import List

Scenario:
Copy a list "ListName" (Title = ListTitle) from source "Site 1" to destination "Site 2" subsites. "Site 2" already has a list with the name "ListName". The title and url both are the same on source and destination.


Solution:


export-spweb "http://hostheader/subsite/site 1" -path "c:\folder_name" -itemurl "/subsite/site 1/listname" -includeusersecurity -nofilecompression -includeversions 4


Open the folder, "folder_name" and edit the Manifest.xml file.
Find and replace "ListName" to something else.
Find and replace "ListTitle" to something else.


Import-SPWeb " http://hostheader/someothersubsite/site 2 " -path "c:\folder_name" -nofilecompression -includeusersecurity
