Hello all,

I would like to copy the data in my production system to a dummy company I created. How can I accomplish this? what tables do I need to copy ? how can I accomplish this easily?

Thanks for any help.

Create a backup file. Take this file into a text editor replace the table prefix, X_, where X is your company number, with the new table prefix for your test company. Use this file to be restored on your test company.

If you have any table prefix it is in fromt of the table names in the .sql file.

If you need to change this into Another number, then use a texteditor.
