copy Dynamics CRM on Premise to another instance

I am asking for the actions needed to be taken to clone Dynamics CRM on-premise from the production environment to test environment.

Is it just

  • open production SQL server,
  • Backup PROD_MSCRM Database
  • move the file to the test SQL server.
  • restore the backup file to Test_MSCRM DB

Can someone help me if this correct and if there any thing else I should do?

Solution

  • Yes, after restore you need to create a new Dynamics CRM instance. You do this using the management tooling. Create the organization and choose to import an existing database.
