Facts read from this source
-
Import export purpose Report an error
“The Import and Export feature of Umbraco Deploy allows you to transfer content and schema between Umbraco environments. A .zip file is exported from one environment and imported into another to update its Umbraco data.”
-
Schema transfer method Report an error
“Umbraco schema (such as document types and data types) are transferred as .uda files serialized to disk. They are deployed to refresh the schema information in a destination environment along with code and template updates.”
-
Content transfer method Report an error
“Umbraco content (such as content and media) are transferred by editors using backoffice operations.”
-
Import export use case Report an error
“Import and export is intended more for larger transfer options, project upgrades, or one-off tasks when setting up new environments.”
-
Offline two step process Report an error
“As import and export is a two-step process, it doesn't require inter-environment communication. This allows to process much larger batches of information without running into hard limits imposed by Cloud hosting platforms.”
-
Migration hooks Report an error
“Hooks are also provided to allow for migrations of artifacts (such as data types) and property data when importing. This should allow you to migrate your Umbraco data from one Umbraco major version to a newer one.”

-
