This question is put out there for the EPM Sharepoint jocks. Please follow
the thread leading up to this post to place the question below within context.
Maybe the Sharepoint component (risk, issues, documents...etc.) could remain
where they are and would not need to be migrated. One could map the archival
project server to point to the original sharepoint links.
Would this become problematic?

Hi Ray,
Project Workspaces (are any WSS Workspaces) are temporary in nature, in
that once the work is complete they should be removed from the WSS
Server.
Now with that said, most people will leave these workspaces as
repositories of information. However, this would be considered a bad
practice as it makes it virtually impossible to search for specific data
over multiple WSS sites. Now if you have SharePoint Portal Server (SPS)
that's a different story altogether.
So anyway, to answer your question...
If you had 2 Project Servers (one Production, one Archival) and you want
to use Archival to point to the WSS server that has the issues, risks
and documents, then I would say YES you could do this. But make sure
that you clear the Automatic create site in the Site Provisioning
settings as you will need to manually add the site address to the WSS
server address.
Does that make sense?
But if it was up to me and I had 2 Project Servers...
I would simply add WSS on the Archival and do a simple backup and
restore of the Project site from Production to Archival. No fuss, no
muss
Hope this helps
Cheers,
