columns,
managed metadata columns and content types. Support for Business Connectivity Services
data
and workflows are not yet available.
Which specific releases are supported?
Beta2
build 4536 is supported. RC builds are not supported but are likely to work
as expected.
Can I reorganize content or re-template sites when migrating from Beta2 to the
RTM release?
Yes SSMM 2010 supports both re-templating and content
re-organization.
Is this a supported migration / upgrade path?
Yes, SSMM 2010 uses the SharePoint object model to migrate data to the RTM instance
and is therefore a fully supported scenario.
Our Beta2 instance is now offline. Can we migrate data from a backup or offline
database?
Yes, offline content databases are supported.
How is the Beta2-to-RTM migration path priced?
Please contact sales@metalogix.net for pricing information.

these be migrated?
