I suspect some people will disagree with my opinion and my last attempts
using the t3d export/import function are years ago, but the truth is
that I personally don't have good experiences with it.

It may work for small, simple sites, but from a certain size and
complexity on, the risk of a failed restore seems to be pretty high.

Make sure, your reference table is up-to-date before triggering the
export. Some people suggest to do the export in small(er) steps (e.g. a
specific page branch first, if this works, then the next, etc.).

I usually forgo using the t3d export/import to be honest.
