Duplicating a database creates a named copy of the selected database and a reference to the new database in Metrics Management. Duplicating a database is supported for Standard databases only.
Ensure that you have read and write access to the data folders for the Standard database instance which you will duplicate. If you do not have rights to these folders, consider copying the database, and then creating a reference to the copied database.
