SharePoint Management Shell commands not working

Question

What would be the best SharePoint Management Shell method of moving these document libraries of this size into another SharePoint site? I have tried to use the following command templates that did not seem to work for exporting the files. Please advise what I did wrong.

Export-SPWeb <Site URL> -Itemurl  <Relative path of List or Library> -path <Backup-path> IncludeUserSecurity -IncludeVersions All

Export-SPWeb http://lg-empctr/ -ItemUrl “/MY HR” -path “C:\Users\sp_farmadmin\Documents\EmpCtr DL” -IncludeUserSecurity -IncludeVersions All

Answer 1

What error message you are getting with this command?

This should give you bunch of files as export of this list and you can use that to import on the destination site and restore/import the list.

Export-SPWeb -Identity <SiteURL> -Path <Path and File Name> [-ItemUrl <URL of Site, List, or Library>]

Another option is you can save the list as template , including content , and use that template to create new list on destination site.

Hi @Tevon2.0

In your case, the command to export should be like following

Export-SPWeb -Identity "http://lg/emp" -Path "C:\Backup\Library\Documents.cmp" -ItemUrl "My%20HR" -IncludeUserSecurity -IncludeVersions All -verbose

And here is the result in my test
