Thanks for the reply. Stsadm backup and restore is fine if you do the whole site collection and all locations are the same.
In my situation, I need to move a site to a new location and would like the workflow - associations,version history and the workflow history move as well.
I've used the Site Administration - Content and Structure to move/copy a list to new site location. It retains the original and modified by user info. But the workflow configuration, versions and history did not move. I think this a limitation of Sharepoint. I haven't seen a tool that would move everthing including the kitchen sink. The salesmen are bunch of bs talkers.
This is what I used for export:
stsadm -o export -url
http://xxxx -filename xxx -includeusersecurity -version 4
Doing this method, you will loose the original modified by and created by owner.
This was moved to Infopath forum, but if you see the main issue, it should be back to Workflow.
