The copy and backup command copies a database to the location that you specify. Copy and backup performs the same action as duplicating a database, without creating a reference to the new database in Metrics Management. To perform this function:
Ensure that no users are accessing the database.
Metrics Management must be running on the server.
Copying and backing up a database is supported for Standard databases only.
