thanks for this video. been wondering how to use this module. will you still be making drupal 6 videos or only drupal 7? could you do a series on location and gmap module?

@kumquatsta we are focused on D7 videos. We will do the geo location modules when the modules come out for D7.

Does this work for Drupal configured on Oracle database?

I tried the same steps but the source database cobmo box does not have any value.

Was wondering if you could give a live stream of migrating between sites? The questions I want to know is what is the best way of moving your site (without access to something like phpmyadmin) from one location to the other. I think the steps are: 1) Backup to local file system, 2) Download all drupal files to pc 3) change "settings.php" to the default one 4) Upload everything to new area 5) Enable backup and migrate on new place and 6) run restore. Dunno if this will work though.

@nebe01 absolutely especially if you're making changes to information that is not code say like a block

@kumquatsta I would say that it's not required, but can be very useful if you have it enabled on both sites. Simply download the DB the re-upload to the new site!

helpful video. is this module required when moving a drupal site from a local host to a live hosted server?

I find this module helpful when working on a staging and sandbox server for keeping the db's in sync.
