    Hi,

    I think you can not copy the Production company to another environment, why dont you create a separate sandbox of Production?

    You can export the Production DB in Local file and import in SQL server locally.

    You can not copy and paste company to other sandbox only you can extract data using configuration package and import that data to other companies

    Hi, as Nitin mentioned, this is not possible. But you can copy the environment from environment to sandbox.

    I don't know how important an existing Sandbox environment is, but a direct copy of the environment is the fastest way.

    Hope this can give you some hints.

    Thanks.
