[GNC] Duplicating Account

[Kalpesh Patel]

With that out of the way, I sounds like that the asking person wants to experiment something within the account. In that case, it is rather going to be best by making a copy of the file somewhere else. Then restore it back if you don’t like the result after the experiment or experiment with the copy of the file and then overwrite original if results looks good.

Cool! I saw this phenomenon frequently in my days in software tech support, but I never knew it had a name. Thanks!
