I have to give a huge thanks to Chris O’Brien for his content deployment wizard. You can get this life saving tool from his site at http://snipr.com/mossdeploymentwizard
Wow!! This is the tool you can’t live without especially if you are uitilizing a publishing environment for your destination content deployments. I had to use his tool to move a 9GB publishing site from the authoring farm due to content deployment failures. His tool allows you to maintain the GUID’s which is essential for successful content deployments to the publishing farm.
We are waiting for SP3 to see whether Microsoft will really get content deployment bugs manageable or we will go down the route Chris went and create our own deployment engine using the api.
