Hi,<br />
<br />
A client has asked to take a duplicate of their current sharepoint site based on WSS 3.0 SP2 of a site based on &quot;Company A'. &nbsp;They want to replicate &quot;Company A&quot; website and do a restore and then set it up as &quot;Company B&quot; hosted on the same servers. &nbsp;is this going to be possible?<br />
<br />
They have SQL Standard 2008R2 for their SQL Server and WSS 3.0 SP2 is installed on a separate 2008 server, this client is setting up another company but in the meantime wants to utilise the company A infrastructure,
