37
- ===============================
38
-
39
- Access the `database management page <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases >`__
40
- (you will have to sign in). Next, make sure you are connected as the
41
- administrator of the database you want to duplicate. After that, click
42
- on the **Manage Your Databases ** button.

- In the line of the database you want to duplicate, you will have a few
48
- buttons. To duplicate your database, just click **Duplicate **. You will
49

57
- .. danger :: A duplicated database has the same behaviour as a real one:
58
-
59
- * Emails are sent
60
-
61
- * Payments are processed (in the e-commerce, for example)
62
-
63
- * Delivery orders (shipping providers) are sent
64
-
65
- * Etc.
66
-
67
- It is **strongly ** advised to test behaviour using sample
68
- customers/products (with a `disposable e-mail <http://www.mailinator.com >`__
69
- address, for example)
70
-
71
- After a few seconds, you will be logged in your duplicated database.
72
- Notice that the url uses the name you chose for your duplicated
73
- database.
74
-
75
- .. note :: Duplicate databases expire automatically after 15 days.

- Duplicating a database (on-premise)
81
- ===================================
82
-
83
- You can duplicate your database by accessing the database manager on your
84
- server (<odoo-server>/web/database/manager). In this page, you can easily
85
- duplicate your database (among other things).

-
91
- When you duplicate a local database, it is **strongly ** advised to change
92
- the duplicated database's uuid (Unniversally Unique Identifier), since this
93
- uuid is how your database identifies itself with our servers. Having two
94
- databases with the same uuid could result in invoicing problems or registration
95
- problems down the line.
96
-
97
- .. note :: From July 2016 onward, Odoo 9 now automatically change the uuid of a
98
- duplicated database; a manual operation is no longer required.
99
-
100
- The database uuid is currently accessible from the menu **Settings > Technical
101
- > System Parameters **, we advise you to use a
102
- `uuid generator <https://www.uuidgenerator.net >`__ or to use the unix command
103
- ``uuidgen `` to generate a new uuid. You can then simply replace it like any
104
- other record by clicking on it and using the edit button.
