Complete website duplication with EE v2.9.2 and MSM v2.1.7?

Hi Folks,

Am I able to safely duplicate an entire website (ie; with entries) with the above versions of EE & MSM?

The documentation seems to say ‘yes’! But I’ve read that there were problems and so the functionality was discontinued in v3.0.

I’m a bit nervous for 2 reasons:

1.) Due to the crazy timeline, we’re thinking of doing it directly on the production/live server (eeek). 2.) It’s a reasonably large website (30+pages, 100’s of videos). So my cost estimate would be wildly different if I had to copy all the content entries manually.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Any advice would be welcome.

Cheers,

CJ
