Perhaps this is an FAQ, but I haven't seen it.

I want to clone or copy my sight to create a second instantiation on my same webhost account. I am doing this to create a sandbox clone that we can try out risky things on.

My question: when I do this, as the new site will be on the same MySQL server, do I need to worry that the clone is going to try to write to the same database tables as the original? Does the clone/SQL know to create new database tables during restoration? Is there a switch setting I need to invoke to make this happen correctly?

All this is happening with a Joomla 2.5.6 site.

Thanks.
