The easiest way is to just create another Plone instance
inside the same  
Zope, and use cut/paste to move your data over.

Another approach would be to use the export/import
functionality of the  
ZMI to move it to a different Zope altogether. But try the
first approach,  
that works best (and is the easiest).

Plone site backup and restore

Sorry to get in the middle but i've tried to copy/past and it seems that not all the content gets copied, i thought it was normal, but for instance one thing that comes up right away is that on the copy the logo doesn't show, instead the default plone logo is in place.

When we copy or cut does only the content get copied ? the plone config not ?
How do i make a full copy to be able to restore everything in no time (including config, logo,.....) ?

Thanks
Pete
