Hi,
By default, when importing without the "as backup" option, all the imported
documents, will show up with the current user as being their author, since
he was the one that imported them, and any author that the documents may
have had before import will be ignored (including for security reasons).
When importing "as backup" (i.e. preserving the author), as the name
suggests, the author of the imported documents will be... preserved, and
they will continue having whatever author they had when they were exported.
Hope this helps,
Eduard

Hi again,
I am confused about
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ImportExport#HExporting…
When exporting, there is the option "BACKUP PACKAGE (AUTHOR
PRESERVED)", and when importing there is the option "Import as backup
package". What does it mean that the author is preserved, since the
contents of the author textbox are always saved in the package, and
there is a separate checkbox to preserve the page authorship history?
