Former migration expert here: - Most likely it's not a drag and drop, you'll have a different database for both the source (legacy) and target applications. Both of which will usually have a different structure or schema - It's still retarded because your backups should cover all the data you need should something go wrong - They probably paid third world subcontractors to do it, which is why it went tits up Also why are you all still on ruqqus? It's no longer a free speech site. Sort your lives out.
