  • Utilize the System Clone application to duplicate an entire database from one instance to another. This cloning process, commonly employed to replicate a production instance for pre-production testing, leverages the latest nightly backup as the data source.

    You can achieve the following using the System Clone tool:
    • Clone a ServiceNow instance to a target instance.
    • Clone a ServiceNow instance to a target instance running a different version.
    • Clone a ServiceNow instance from a backup.
    • Clone a ServiceNow instance over a production instance.
