Is database backup a viable method to move metadata between WSUS instances?
I've tried the "accepted" method using wsusutil export/import but the import takes way too long to be viable (~7 hours) and doesn't contain approvals.
Obviously the version of WSUS would have to match, but other than that does anyone know if the WSUS database contains installation-specific data? The collected computer data is not a concern as it would be discarded anyway.
