you may follow the steps bellow:

1. Dump the DSpace database
pg_dump --verbose --oids --create --format=c --username=dspace dspace >
path/to/dumpfile.sql

2. Save the file "dumpfile.sql"

3. Restore the database from "dump.sql'
pg_restore -C -d dspace -U dspace < path/to/dumpfile.sql

4. Copy all the directories within "assetstore" from laptop to "assetstore" on Desktop

5. Re-index all indices
dspace\bin$./index-all [for DSpace 1.4]
dspace\bin$./index-init [for DSpace 1.5]

6. Verify that all data was successfully transferred and that everything works as before
by
A. Comparing the old and new systems visually, using specific, randomly chosen records.
B. Issuing the following command on both the servers:
dspace=>analyze verbose item;

hope it helps
