Not in one operation, but you can do it in two:

1) File -> Export -> Export Accounts    [ save to new file ]
2) File -> Open                         [ open new file ]

Note that this will ONLY copy your CoA and necessary commodities.
It will NOT copy any business objects or other configuration settings.
