I have a MT 4.1 installation on one domain: site-staging.org -> this is a test MT installation that contains multiple blogs in the installation
I have another MT 4.1 installation on another domain: site.org -> this is the live MT installation that contains the same blogs in the installation as the testing installation

I create/edit blogs on the testing site (site-staging.org) to test out before then implementing the change on the live site (site.org).

I created a brand new blog (name: Journal) on the site-staging.org blog. I created quite a few entries and added tags/keywords to all of the entries. I'm unsure of how to do a complete export of the blog (Journal) on the site-staging.org installation and import it into site.org installation. I tried the export function, but that just seems to export all of the entries only. It doesn't actually export the instructions/etc. to automatically create the identical blog (with all of its settings, etc.) on the site.org.

Is there a way to export a single blog with all of it's entries/settings/custom fields/etc. and import it into another installation, i.e. the identical blog is automatically created in site.org installation? Or do I have to manually create the blog (and manually create the settings/custom fields) and then just import the entries that were exported from the site-staging.org installation?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I did precisely that and now cant find the backup file which Movable type should have created. I have looked at the 'backups' folder on the root of my server and theres nothing there. can anyone tell me the location as to where this archive is saved?

IIRC it should end up in the temp drectory
