Do you also need to maintain the data on the target environment?

• If not you could simply use PaasPortal to copy both daabase and blobs UP from int to preprod or preprod to production. (Reach out to support if you want to move DOWN

If it's just the blobs you want to move in isolation then I also assume you want to keep the references in the database to these blobs as you mentioned the media-tree.

• In which case you could try using the Export Data Tool in Admin section.
• Click Export content types and select the media files you wish export and download the .episerverdata file.
• Use this file on the sibling Import tool on the target environment

Hi Surjit,

Yes that would've worked if it was int/pre -> prod etc. The thing is that this is another site so its not just a different environment of the same site if you know what I mean.

I'll give that other option a try, thanks!

I agree, the built-in export/import functionality is probably your best bet. Note that if the file is large, you may get errors on the import -- you'll need to update your config to allow uploading bigger files.

If you want a copy of the assets in the same folder structure, and don't care about the assets getting new GUIDs in the new database, this approach could also work:

• Here is a write-up about downloading the full asset tree as a ZIP file, with the same folder structure that's used in the CMS: https://gregwiechec.com/2019/10/download-folder-with-assets-as-zip/
• And then here is a write-up for doing the reverse -- bulk uploading assets in the same folder structure: https://blog.nicolaayan.com/2017/03/episerver-how-to-upload-media-assets-in-bulk/
