    Umbraco and Future Portability

    I have been evaluating umbraco as a potential framework for our fairly large (10,000+ html docs, 20,000+ pdfs in document library) corporate website. I have a few lingering questions about umbraco and its suitability for us. I'll break them out into a few separate threads.

    Data Portability

    Just wondering if there has been any discussion / does anyone have any thoughts on data portability and umbraco. Best case, we would adopt umbraco, never look back, and it would suit our needs for the next 100 years... More realistically (maybe pessimistically), 3-5 years from now someone considers moving to something else and wants to migrate all of our content. I am curious about what the implications of such a decision would be.

    One apparent issue would be that all of the content is divorced from a folder structure. Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance

    By using the API you can both import and export content from umbraco.  You can also look through the complete node tree so that the parent/child structure can be carried to your new cms (if you choose to move).  So basicially you can export the folder structure.
