How can I move folders and files on sites and document libraries in SharePoint and maintain their version history?

Question

I’m trying to move folders around sites within the same installation of SharePoint 2007. The most important requirement is to keep version history.

One of my approaches is to create a new document library on the source site and move folders to it, and then move the document library to the target site. I did move the file using cut and paste in the Explorer view.

Unfortunately, this distorts the version history of the files — each version in the history of the file ends with the same date (and who knows where the date comes from is not in the original history of the file), although Modified and other metadata are in order.

I used the following to move document libraries:

• Chris O'Brien SP 1.1 Content Deployment Wizard ( site )
• STSADM.exe using the Gary Lapointe extensions ( site ), in particular the following commands: gl-exportlist, gl-importlist, gl-copylist.

Unfortunately, these tools do not work at the folder level.

My next step is to look at the programming solution, which I avoid because I am new to SharePoint and know nothing about programming for it.

Can anyone help me? In particular, I would welcome:

I had success with Tzunami Deployer in this scenario. On my blog I posted some of my impressions of the screenshots . I found that their support is very good, even during the trial period. You may try.
