    Import-SPWeb -Identity "http://dev/sites/XXTo/services/ServiceFrom2"  -Path "C:\Site.cmp"

    I have error:

    Import-SPWeb : Cannot find an SPWeb object with Id or Url : http://dev/sites/XXTo/services/ServiceFrom2.

    i also try export on higher level use:

    Export-SPWeb -Identity "http://dev/sites/XXFrom/services" -ItemUrl "ServiceFrom2"  -Path "C:\S
    ite.cmp" -IncludeVersions All -Force

    Hello, you should create new site using new-SPWeb command.

    The steps should be: 

    # 1) Backup
Export-spweb "http://XXXX/SiteFrom” -path C:\sitieFrom.cmp

# 2) Create New Site:
new-spweb "http://XXXX/SiteTo"  -name "SiteTo"

# 3) Restore:
Import-spweb “http://XXXX/SiteTo”  -path C:\sitieFrom.cmp

    Hope this helps. Regards

    Create a site collection first, then restore the sp-web. That can be done through the GUI or by using

    New-SPSite

    what i should do after creating new site collection and then importing the SharePoint list into that new site collection, still i need to import the list into the subsite i have faced the problem with.

    please advice.
