Export and import portfolios institution wide

We had Mahara hosted somewhere else in the previous years and had lectures and students developed their own portfolios in the system. Now we are looking at the option of hosting Mahara on our own server. The LEAP2A seems to be designed for individual users. Can this feature be used as an option of migrating data institution wide from one host to the other? 

Thanks, Shen

Currently there is only an interface for an individual user to export their own portfolio to a file.  I don't think it would be a huge amount of work to add the ability for admins to export users in bulk, but I haven't looked into it closely yet.

Do you have any plans on getting this ability developed? 

How easy is it to do it at the back end, I mean by copying related database records and datafiles? Any advice?

It's not currently a priority for us.

If you have access, it's would be much easier and more reliable to get a dump of the entire database and user data directory.
