8. Export-SPWeb -Identity http:\\ServerName:port\Site -Path c:\\backup\Exportback.dat
9. The NoFileCompression parameter lets you specify that no file compression is
performed during the export process. Using this parameter can lower resource
usage up to 30% during the export process. Using this parameter will result in a
backup folder being created instead of a compressed file. If you use the
NoFileCompression parameter in the Export-SPWeb command, you must also use it
when you import the content by using the Import-SPWeb command.

11. The complete command is
12. Import-SPWeb -Identity http:\\ServerName:port\Site -Path c:\\backup\Exportback.dat
-Force
