We want to setup a new AEM 6.1 system and transfer the content from the AEM 5.6.1 instance via content package to the new system. Is there also a way to migrate the version history to the new system? In older versions of AEM/CQ there was an Importing Tool (http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/crx/2-3/deploying/upgrading.html#Migrating%20the%20Version%20History), does something like that exist for AEM 6.1?

I think it is not possible/is not enough to make a content package of /jcr:system/jcr:versionStorage and just install it on the new AEM 6.1 system, right?

Thanks!

Migrating the version history is not available. If you want to retain the version history only option is do an inplace upgrade.

Thanks, I know. But how can I transfer content and its version history from one system to another? We don't want to do the inplace upgrade, we want to setup a new system on another machine. I think I could ask the same question for transfering content and its version history from one AEM 6.1 system to another AEM 6.1 system...
