We are working on implementing a method to export and import records in the database.  And were wondering if simply Saving a Serialized business object with the records to export would be feasible.  The main question we have about this, is say someone exports some records, and wants to pass them to another user.  During this time, or anytime after really, the data structure for these records changes, would our serialized business object containing the records to be imported be pretty much useless at this point? Is there any way around this using Serialized Business object, or should we stick with exporting as XML with the version information etc.

Thanks,
