Duplicating production setup 1:1 to a new dev server

0

Hi Bo,

these are the chapters of our documentation to restore a production database as a formal test environment. I have to ask permission to provide any more information as I have done this during my "working time", whatever the actual term is for this time, when I'm doing something for which I get payed. :)

In our situation both environment have a working WEBCON BPS environment with the same version. But it should also work when the target environment has a newer version when you run the installer in between. I haven't done this in a long time but it worked in the past. Both environments are on stand alone Azure servers, so they have different local user accounts.
