Cloning Environments

The backup and restore procedures in this topic also serve as a way to clone from one service instance to another.

To clone environments:

  1. On the source instance, download the backup snapshot as outlined in Saving Backup Snapshots.
  2. On the target instance, restore the backup snapshot that you downloaded to your local file system. See Restore Using the Most Recent Daily Backup Snapshot or Restore Using a Saved Backup Snapshot.
  3. Verify and adjust the daily maintenance time on the target instance, if necessary.
