Issue
- Exporting Document Library to a LAR file from Content & Data -> Documents and Media -> top-right three-dot menu -> Export / Import won't export file versions.
Resolution
- This is a product limitation and LAR can't be used to import all versioning files due to the possibility of causing memory and hard disk issues.
- By default, you can bring the latest version of each file to be published on other sites, but the option to bring all versions of a file in the Document Library is not available as this would make it difficult (and could even prevent) its management.
- With this functionality, LAR files could grow in size very fast. This could cause resource problems both in exporting and importing due to memory and hard disk issues.
