How to Clone a Decisions Database?
Greetings,
I want to clone a one of my test servers overtop of one of my dev servers. How would you recommend I do this?

Hello!
The way we would recommend cloning a Decisions database is as follows:
- Backing-up the Test DB
- Creating a new db in a lower environment
- Restoring the DB from the Test back-up.
- Reinstall and re-license.
There is not a way to restore a Decisions DB from a back-up without relicensing the environment. You can clone the database and update the connection string to point towards the new one, then use the self-licensing utility to license your environment for more convenience: https://documentation.decisions.com/v8/docs/licensing-a-server#applying-for-a-license-via-utility
Note: DO NOT restore your dev server from a Decisions server of a different version (e.g. if you dev is v8.19 and test is v8.20.2, DO NOT perform this action until both servers are on the same version). Please ensure to backup both DBs prior to executing this action.
We hope this answers your question.
