I’m beginning to export data from the corrupted version, a 2.4.4.1, that is going to be imported into a stock 2.4.7.1 (now already mostly configured and a few custom code in pkp/lib/common/header.tpl, theme).
Exporting users and articles and issues using standard export tools.
I assume there won’t be any problems with the data… Am I correct?
Using the built-in import/export tools will exclude a lot of data – workflow data like peer reviews, but also associations between user accounts and their submissions, etc. Essentially you’ll have a snapshot of the published versions of your articles.
If you need to save more, you might look at this project from Lepidus:

Unfortunately, can’t use it as it’s a 2.4.4.1 bugged version.
We’re unable to upgrade it to 2.4.6.
Whatever data we’ll need to preserve, will have to be done manually.
