SharePoint - Moving Sites and Subsites into another Site
If there is a need to move sites and subsites into another site within the same web application, this can be easily performed using the "Site Manager". Often times, this option is over-looked, in favor of site templates, or other backup and restore operations. However, this is the simplest option available.
Note: This site is available on "SharePoint Online or Office 365 Dedicated" as well as any stand-alone SharePoint installation, on the basis that you activate the Publishing Features within SharePoint.
If you visit "http://enter_your_site_url/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx", you'll see the Site Manager, where you can do a move operation of all pages and sub-sites.
