I am relatively new to BAS - a lil'confused though - hope anyone can help.

1. Orchestraions, BAM components etc. we can all port them from one machine 
to another e.g. from a development to a staging server. But after we have co
nfigured a BAS solution/site, is it possible to port it to another machine?
2. What are the BAS compoents that need to ported?
3. Is there any official way (tools, utilities etc.) of acheiving this?
4. Is it right to say that both the SEED wizards are only meant for adding n
ew partners/spokes.

thanks in advance...

If you want to port a BAS site from machine to another you will need to
execute the following three steps:
1. Backup and restore the TPM database using SQL Server backup/restore
mechanism
2. Backup and restore the WSS content database using the WSS recomended
mechanism to backup and restore its content databases.
3. Use BizTalk deploying tools to port the assemblies, orchestrations,
parties, etc involved in your BAS project.

Recommendation:
Can be a good idea to run a Sync and a Repair after you performed the
previous 3 steps.

For more information on how to backup and restore a BAS site read the
folowing items in BizTalk help. If you cannot find them in your help, make
sure you updated the BizTalk help from Microsoft web site.

Please let me know if you have more questions.
