8. You will need to make a copy of the volumes at this point and make sure each repository is pointing to its own set.

My volumes are very large and I can't make a copy of them for testing. I want to retain all the file structure, security, entries and metadata for realistic testing (without the images). How can I accomplish that?

Right now I have a second repository but all the images are pointing to the UNC path of the production environment so I can't really do any testing on them.

Thanks!

Hi Erik,

You can just copy over the DB which will give you an entire repository along with all the folder structure and security. The volumes are purely the images. Bear in mind that using this approach you won't be able to view any documents (obviously). The metadata will also be retained.

Hope this helps answer your question!
