Hello,
Excepted backup database file before migration for restoration, you
don't need to export pages delete wiki and import back.
IMO, the only one difficulty we have when migrating is the default xwiki.xar:
1- you may need to delete some pages included into xwiki-2.7.xar but
removed in xwiki-3.5.1.xar
2- you should merge pages from xwiki-3.5.1.xar you have updated in your wiki
3- other pages could be simply imported
But, how to know if page has been updated since 2.7?
My solution is to always reset page version to 1.0 when import pages
from last xar.
Regards,
Arnaud.

Hi,
What is the best strategy for upgrading (2.7 -> 3.5.1) and making sure everything is
based on the latest?
I was thinking the following;
Export the old Wiki (full Export)
Delete the Wiki
Clean installed Wiki
Import the Export
Import the XAR of a fresh Wiki
Problem with above;
With last step I overwrite and lose all modified pages (especially XWikiusers group)
All imported pages are not modified to latest XWiki syntax
profiles of XWikiUsers are based on OLD object definition
Object def changes in BLOG (if any?)
Script changes in Register procedure
any other?
