Hi:

In the same environment, is it possible to create a company and copy data from another company as a "backup company"?

Thanks!

    Yes, if you go to the Companies page. You have the option to copy company. But you have the name the copy with another company name then the original.

    Hi, yes, you can easily copy companies on the page, or use API.

    But please note that if you are using SaaS, the storage of the environment is not always free.

    New plan:
