Let’s imagine this scenario:
You have an old SharePoint 2010 site and you need to copy its content to another SharePoint farm. The site is heavily customized and moving it using traditional methods (backup/restore, export/import, save site as a template) are not going to work well. Plus you only want content – no need to bring in all of that custom branding baggage.
You can copy the content using PowerShell and two scripts shown below.
Script # 1: Export all lists and libraries from the source site.
The output of this script should be a number of CMP files in the
output directory. Review these files and remove the lists that should
not be imported (such as various Gallery lists).
Script # 2: Import CMP files into the destination site.

$folder = "C:\Admin\Import\"
$Files =

-ChildItem $folder
foreach ($file in $files)
{
$name = $file.Name
"Importing: "
+
"$folder$name"
import-spweb $site -path (
"$folder$name"
) -includeusersecurity -nologfile
}
