Splitting Up MSM Sites
Justin Crawford at Hosteeno has an article up about how to break an MSM installation into two separate sites.
Yesterday I completed a tricky surgical operation for a customer (who shall remain unnamed). This customer was running two sites in ExpressionEngine’s Multi-Site Manager (MSM), a tool that lets you host multiple websites on one ExpressionEngine instance. Considering the two sites, the customer’s lawyers thought hosting them together was a Bad Idea.
Justin walks you through his steps of severing the sites from each other, including some warning of potential pitfalls.
If you’re looking for another take on splitting up MSM sites, Mike Boyink at Train-ee posted a how-to on it more than a year ago. Mike included step-by-step, detailed instructions on how to do this.
Together, both articles should get what you need and hopefully assist in a painless severing of MSM sites.

Both interesting articles. What I’m looking for right now is an way to merge three different EE sites into MSM - each site has several hundred entries, several weblogs and all the usual mix of add-ons.
