If I create a new standalone Domino server environment for dev/test purposes - how can I copy the databases from an existing environment into that new standalone server to play with it?

Database Copy

I'll assume your test server is in a different domain that your production server.

I'd create Copies of the database (make sure that you do not create replicas).

File -> Application -> New Copy

In the 'Copy Application' dialog box, I typically choose a temp location on my local PC for the initial copy, only because it's usually easier. however, you could just choose the dev server to copy each to if your client can connect to both.

Click the 'Encryption' button, ensure encryption is OFF

Typically I would copy 'Application design and Documents', and deselect 'Access Control List'. This will allow all users, including those in a different domain, to have full access to the databases.

Once each copy completes, change the default ACL on each database to 'Manager'.

Now you can copy them to your test server. Either via your notes client, or copy them directly via file system copy. If you copy via file-system copy, run fixup on each.

Once you have them on your new dev/test server, change the ACLs of each to be more restrictive.
