Is it possible to import mosaic dataset overviews into SDE at ArcGIS 10.1?

The help file here says that when copying a mosaic dataset & overviews from SDE the overviews will automatically be copied as well. I want to copy mosaic datasets and overviews into SDE. Can this be done? If so, how?

Hi Ryan,

Are you copying a mosaic dataset from SDE into another instance of SDE?  If you are, the overviews will automatically be copied.  All you need to do is right-click on the Mosaic Dataset > Copy > right-click on the other SDE instance > Paste.  During the paste, the dialog will report what is being pasted into the geodatabase.  You will see 'AMD_<dataset name>_OVR'.  This represents the Mosaic Dataset's overviews.

Hi Jake,

No, I have mosaic datasets in a file geodatabase with the overviews built in the default location (a folder beside the fgdb). I want to move my mosaic datasets and overviews from my file system into SDE.

Thanks,
Ryan
