Installing a test site

Good afternoon !

you can use the campsite-create-instance command to create a
new
instance, then you should copy the files from 'files',
'images' and
'look' directories from the original 'www' directory to the
new
instance 'www' directory.  finally you should copy the data
from the
original database to the new instance database.

i know there are the campsite-backup-instance and
campsite-restore-instance commands and they create a full
copy from an
instance and restore it, but i believe restoring will
overwrite the
current working instance.

You can use the "campsite-backup-instance" and
"campsite-restore-instance" commands for this -
that is what they were
designed to do.  Simply type these commands without
arguments to get the
help for them.
