(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Export/Import will work, but I believe export does not export baselines? If that is true, and you use baselines, your best bet would be to backup the entire database using the Oracle or SQL utility.

Hi Izam;
You can open many projects at same time by the following steps:
Projects --> chose required projects to be open by ctrl + left click --> open projects --> file --> export (program takes all open projects under a new project name)
And after that you can import projects as a spread and also at different projects enterprise.
Best Regards,

Abeer
