I need to test some User Profiles sync changes on our development farm. I need a way to move everything that is currently in the production farm Mysites/User Profile Service. I have copied the mysite content dbs and the 3 user profile db and used these backups I have created a new mysite host and user profile service. after doing a full crawl everything seems to be working correctly, except I have not newsfeeds! If I look in my activities or mentions area and click on ' view conversation' it says that the conversation has been deleted. I must be missing a step to get the newsfeeds out of distributedCache and copied.
