Hi everyone.

Trying to copy all data & customization from live server to the test.

I restored the database and now copying the application files.

My understanding of the extensions are here http://www.artofcreation.be/2009/10/27/application-file-extensions/

Is it enough to copy the data files under extension .aod for the data to be imported to the test server? Will I lose any data or customization made to the system if I copy only these files?

Request your support at the earliest.

There are also other files that you need such as labels.

It's best if you just copy the entire application directory, and delete the cache / index files afterwards in the target folder.

Your application might have custom dlls and other stuff, too, which is not included in the AOD.
