Is the install of an OD Confluence instance also required if only a few spaces are to be transferred?

Question

To integrate the Confluence content from an newly merged company that has it's content in OD Confluence: Is it really neccessary to install the OD version locally on the day of migration allthough only a few spaces and not the whole site is to be transferred?

In an Enterprise it's not possible to allways upgrade to the latest version of a tool.

Concrete were have recently made the upgrade to 5.4 and now plan to integrate some spaces from the current OD in June.

Hi Harald,

Unfortunately space imports are not backwards compatible.  One option would be to set up a separate, evaluation instance of Confluence 5.4 and import a full site XML from the OD instance.  Next, export each space individually from the test instance and import that into the destination 5.4 version.
