Hi, The help I've found is really at a very basic level. A 'live' instance and a 'test' instance. Regularly export from 'live' to 'test' - so users can connect and destroy whatever. It provides an online backup (to the last export) and a way to recreate the data in that instance. I can test versions of software on 'test', or hairbrained ideas of my own. Of course, will first need the disk and processing necessary. Hope this is of help.
