The problem you are experiencing is that the extended attributes (that identify the files as DCRs) are not copied with the files. Basically, what you need to do is reset the extended attributes. This can be done by writing a perl script to go through your directories and set the TeamSite/Templating/DCR/Type attribute on each DCR file. See iwextattr command. Also, Interwoven now has two scripts available that allow you to save TeamSite EA's to a file and reload them back after the move. The scripts you want to get are "saveattr.ipl" and "setattr.ipl".

I've never had a problem (in 4.5.1) shutting down TeamSite, tar'ing the 'iw-store' directory, copying the tar file to the second server, and untarring it to the iw-home directory.

If you have a large backing store, it can take a long time to create the tar -- our 3.8 gig backing store in 4.5.1 took almost 6 hours to tar up, due to the thousands and thousands of small files that make up the 4.5.x backing store. Untarring on the destination server will take at least as long if not longer.

With 5.5.2, this process is much faster, as the backing store is much more efficient a structure.
