Is it possible to export a group when using Organic Groups? I was thinking hypothetically - if a group from say groups.drupal.org wanted to move the group to their own domain, how could the data be moved? I'm guessing the mysql data can be exported but could you just export data for a specific group or would you have to export everything and then pare down? Thanks!

I've started looking for information on this because we're moving data from an older Drupal installation to a newer one on a different server, and I only want the Organic Groups information, not all the rest of Drupal along with it.

Without this type of functionality, this is going to be a real nightmare.

Unless you make or commission a new module (which would be really cool) you will have to identify all the og tables in the DB, node and node revisions, and all the CCK-related tables (taxonomy if you're using it). Export all those into an SQL file. Make 100% sure that your versions are the same on both sites. Import your SQL file. (shazam!)

Plan on making a mistake the first time, so don't do this on a production site. I should mention that I almost always make mistakes when I try stuff like this... and I give semi-helpful advice waaaay too late.
